Wise Words

orchidee



Tune: Ruth

('Summer suns are glowing')

Proverbs 15 v.1-7

********

A soft answer, gentle

Turns away wrath all

But grievous words, harsh they

Stir up anger's way

The tongue of wise uses

Knowledge right, each says

Useful things and good they

Proclaim day by day

 

But the mouth of fools pour

Foolishness for sure

The eyes of the Lord are

in each place, not far

They behold the evil

And the good as well

A wholesome tongue a tree

Of life and health be

 

But perverseness therein

Breaks the spirit, sin

Causes a disruption

Confuses each one

Fools despise instruction

Listen unto none

But they who reproof heed

They prudent indeed

 

In house of righteous there

Much treasure to share

But wicked's revenues

Troublesome, bad news

Lips of wise knowledge spread

But of fools is said

Their heart it not wise be

As the righteous, see

              I loved this one Orchi too bad that there are so many fools that don't listen to instruction. (by the way you have an extra s in instruction second to the last stanza) I guess it is not only me that makes a typo once in a while.
