  • 17. A traveller to life `is' he who is keeping instruction, And whoso is forsaking rebuke is erring.
  • 18. Whoso is covering hatred with lying lips, And whoso is bringing out an evil report is a fool.
  • 19. In the abundance of words transgression ceaseth not, And whoso is restraining his lips `is' wise.
  • 20. The tongue of the righteous `is' chosen silver, The heart of the wicked -- as a little thing.
  • 21. The lips of the righteous delight many, And fools for lack of heart die.
  • 22. The blessing of Jehovah -- it maketh rich, And He addeth no grief with it.
  • 23. To execute inventions `is' as play to a fool, And wisdom to a man of understanding.
  • 24. The feared thing of the wicked it meeteth him, And the desire of the righteous is given.
  • 25. As the passing by of a hurricane, So the wicked is not, And the righteous is a foundation age-during.

  • 31. The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, And the tongue of frowardness is cut out.
  • 32. The lips of the righteous know a pleasing thing, And the mouth of the wicked perverseness!
