A soft answer turneth away wrath; But a grievous word stirreth up anger.Young's Literal Translation
A soft answer turneth back fury, And a grievous word raiseth up anger.Proverbs 15:1 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the BibleA soft answer - Gentleness will often disarm the most furious, where positive derangement has not taken place; one angry word will always beget another, for the disposition of one spirit always begets its own likeness in another: thus kindness produces kindness, and rage produces rage.
