Verse 4 is found in chapter 15 of Proverbs. A gentle answer can turn away anger, while a harsh word intensifies conflict. The chapter immediately connects speech with divine presence: the eyes of the Lord are everywhere. Therefore, verbal prudence depends not only on social techniques, but on living with the awareness that God knows human words and intentions.

Ein heilsame Zunge ist ein Baum des Lebens; aber eine lügenhafte macht Herzeleid.
La sana lengua es árbol de vida: Mas la perversidad en ella es quebrantamiento de espíritu.
La langue douce est un arbre de vie, Mais la langue perverse brise l'âme.
La medicina della lingua è un albero di vita; Ma la sovversione che avviene per essa è simile ad un fracasso fatto dal vento
A língua benigna é árvore de vida, mas a perversidade nela deprime o espírito.
溫良的舌是生命樹; 邪惡的舌使人心碎。
