Gentleness and wisdom

The word gentle is repeated throughout Proverbs 15.

Verse 1 starts with, "A gentle answer deflects anger . . ."

By verse 4 are these words: "Gentle words are a tree of life . . ."

Another word repeated throughout the verses is wise.  Like verse 14: "A wise person is hungry for knowledge."

Each verse in this proverb could have it's separate post.  The wisdom of these simple sentences packs a great punch.  So many life lessons can be learned just by one verse alone.

In the final verse, 33, are the following: "Fear of the Lord teaches wisdom; humility precedes honor."
