A Gentle Answer
A
gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
The
tongue of the wise adorns knowledge, but the mouth of the fool gushes folly.
The
eyes of the LORD are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good.
The
soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit.
Proverbs 15:1-4
Soft,
rather than harsh words can change circumstances.
A soft answer has often been the means
of
breaking a hard heart.
