Proverbs 15 The Fear of YAHWEH

+ Show full styles

[Intro - choir hums, bass + drums enter]
[Verse - male lead, laid-back reggae groove]
A soft response turns away wrath:
but harsh words stir up anger.
The tongue of the wise introduces knowledge well:
but the mouth of fools will spout foolishness.
The eyes of YAHWEH are everywhere,
seeing the evil and the good.
A soothing tongue is a tree of life:
but corruption of it breaks the spirit.
A fool despises his father’s discipline:
but he that observes reproof will become wise.
[Chorus - full choir, big anthemic harmonies, strings lift]
The house of the righteous one is greatly strengthened:
but with the arrival of the wicked comes trouble.
The lips of the wise spread knowledge:
but not so of the heart of the foolish.
The offering of the wicked is an abomination to YAHWEH:
but His desire is the prayer of the upright.
The way of the wicked is an abomination to YAHWEH:
but he loves the pursuers of righteousness.
Discipline is severe for one that leaves the way:
one that hates correction will die.
Sheol and destruction are exposed to YAHWEH:
how much more than the hearts of the children of men?
A scoffer doesn’t like being reproved: 
he won’t go to the wise.
[Verse 2 - same groove]
A glad heart makes a cheerful face:
but heartache breaks the spirit.
An understanding heart will seek knowledge:
but the mouth of fools will feed on foolishness.
All the days of the poor are bad:
but a good hearted person feast continually.
better is little with the fear of YAHWEH
than a great treasure and that brings trouble with it.
Better is a dinner of vegetables where there is love, 
than a fattened ox where there is hatred.
[Chorus - bigger, with ad-libs]
A wrathful man stirs up strife:
but the slow to anger calms dispute.
The way of the lazy man is fenced with thorns:
but the way of the upright is paved.
A wise son makes a joyful father:
but the foolish man despises his mother.
Foolishness is joy to him that lacks an understanding heart:
but a man of understanding walks uprightly.
Without counsel, plans go wrong:
but with many advisers they succeed.
[Verse 2 - same groove]
A man has joy by the reply of his mouth:
and how good is a word in its time!
The way of life is above to the wise,
that he may turn away from Sheol below.
YAHWEH will uproot the house of the arrogant:
but he will maintain the boundary of a widow.
Evil thoughts are an abomination to YAHWEH:
words of pleasantness should be pure.
[Chorus - bigger, with ad-libs]
One who gains through greed troubles his own house;
but he that hates bribes will live.
The heart of the righteous man considers what to reply:
but the mouth of the wicked spout evil things.
YAHWEH is far from the wicked:
but he hears the prayer of the righteous.
The light of the eyes rejoices the heart:
and  good news makes the bones fat.
[Breakdown - drums + bass + choir chants]
The ear that hears the reproof of life lives among the wise.
He that refuses instruction despises his soul:
but he that listens to correction gets an understanding heart.
[Final Chorus - double choir, uplifting fade out]
The fear of YAHWEH is the discipline of wisdom;
and humility goes before honor.

A soft response turns away wrath:
but harsh words stir up anger.
