1 Une réponse douce calme la fureur, Mais une parole dure excite la colère.
2 La langue des sages rend la science aimable, Et la bouche des insensés répand la folie.
3 Les yeux de l’Éternel sont en tout lieu, Observant les méchants et les bons.
4 La langue douce est un arbre de vie, Mais la langue perverse brise l’âme.
