Proverbs 15:1
Thomson 1808
WRATH destroyeth even the prudent; now a soft answer turneth away wrath, but a harsh word stirreth up anger.
Brenton 1851
Anger slays even wise men; yet a submissive answer turns away wrath: but a grievous word stirs up anger.
Greek · Brenton
Ὀργὴ ἀπόλλυσι καὶ φρονίμους, ἀπόκρισις δὲ ὑποπίπτουσα ἀποστρέφει θυμὸν, λόγος δὲ λυπηρὸς ἐγείρει ὀργάς.
