(this is a scan from the exact, authentic, original 1611 'HE' King James Bible)
1 A soft answere turneth away wrath: but grieuous words stirre vp anger.
2 The tongue of the wise, vseth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fooles, powreth out foolishnes.
3 The eyes of the Lord are in euery place, beholding the euill & the good.
4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but peruersnesse therein is a breach in the spirit.
5 A foole despiseth his fathers instruction: but hee that regardeth reproofe, is prudent.
6 In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the reuenues of the wicked is trouble.
7 The lippes of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish, doeth not so.
10 Correction is grieuous vnto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproofe, shall die.
11 Hell and destruction are before the Lord: how much more then, the hearts of the children of men?
12 A scorner loueth not one that reproueth him: neither will he goe vnto the wise.
13 A merry heart maketh a cheerefull countenance: but by sorrow of the heart, the spirit is broken.
15 All the dayes of the afflicted are euill: but he that is of a merry heart, hath a continuall feast.
16 Better is little with the feare of the Lord, then great treasure, and trouble therewith.
17 Better is a dinner of herbes where loue is, then a stalled oxe, and hatred therewith.
18 A wrathfull man stirreth vp strife: but he that is slow to anger, appeaseth strife.
20 A wise sonne maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
21 Folly is ioy to him that is destitute of wisedome: but a man of vnderstanding walketh vprightly.
23 A man hath ioy by the answere of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it?
24 The way of life is aboue to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.
25 The Lord will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.
27 Hee that is greedy of gaine, troubleth his owne house: but he that hateth gifts, shall liue.
29 The Lord is farre from the wicked: but hee heareth the prayer of the righteous.
30 The light of the eyes reioyceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat.
31 The eare that heareth the reproofe of life, abideth among the wise.
33 The feare of the Lord is the instruction of wisedome; and before honour is humilitie.

Forrest Powars's Proverbs Chapter 15 comment about verse 1 on 4/02/2013, 4:38pm...
this is a very powerful yet gentle proverb that we all need to abide by... gentleness comes with strict patience and a loving heart.
Timothy Wayne George's Proverbs Chapter 15 comment about verse 24 on 1/15/2013, 7:58am...
The way of life leads upward to the wise, that he may keep from going downward to Sheol. The Hebrew word for Hell is Sheol, and that place had two compartments. One was Abraham's bosom, and the other where the souls of the lost awaited the final judgment. Jesus took Abraham's bosom to Heaven, when He lead captivity captive, and gave gifts to men. When the thief said Lord remember me, when you come into your Kingdom, and Jesus told him, this day shall you be with Me in Paradise. We are wise when we turn from our sins, and ask Jesus to come into our heart to save us. Then when we die, we are absent from the body, and present with the Lord. David said I will be satisfied when I awake in your likeness. When we see Jesus we will be like Him, for He will change our vile bodies into His glorified body at His appearing.

Proverbs are the excellent warnings to mankind. It is better every person, especially the youth should learn it by heart.
Linette Banga Tamata's Proverbs Chapter 15 comment on 11/29/2012, 4:23pm...
Proverbs 15:1 A soft answer reflects love and understanding of a situation and is the key to victory. While grievous words end up destroying your own self. People who speak softly and understandably never regret their words because they know it will accomplish what is being said.
Timothy Wayne George's Proverbs Chapter 15 comment on 10/15/2012, 7:11am...
Proverbs 15:1 A soft answer turns away wrath, but grievous words stir up anger. How we need to remember the words of James: Be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to wrath, for the wrath of man, does not work the righteousness of God. Many marriages can be saved by giving heed to these words of wisdom. Just as an apple a day, keeps the doctor away, a Proverb a day keeps the heart from dismay. No wonder God gave us a Proverb chapter, for everyday of the month. We would be wise to meditate on them, and teach them to our family.
