Reading for February 1st

Read Proverbs 15.1-15. In verse 1: In responding to angry pepple, one might be tempted to use harsh and violent language. The verse states the paradox that when one responds to angry people, soft is strong and harsh is weak. In verse 14: Heart (mind) and mouth are often contrasted as the organ of strong reflection (mind) and the organ of expression (mouth). Here, the wise use their minds to seek even more knowledge, whereas fools use their mouths only to feed on more folly. Comments or Questions..
