Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Proverbs 15:1
Proverbs 15:1"A soft answer turneth away wrath; But a grievous word stirreth up anger."A truism like this needs no comment. Quiet, inoffensive speech has been effective in preventing many a violent encounter. read more

"The eyes of Jehovah are in every place, Keeping watch over the evil and the good."The omniscience and ubiquitousness of God are stated here. The 139th Psalm in its entirety is devoted to an elaboration of this proverb. See our comments there. read more
