Proverbs 15:2-4

New International Reader's Version

²The tongues of wise people use knowledge well.
But the mouths of foolish people pour out foolish words.

³The eyes of the Lord are everywhere.
They watch those who are evil and those who are good.

⁴A tongue that calms is like a tree of life.
But a tongue that tells lies produces a broken spirit.
