14Wise men lay up knowledge; But the mouth of the foolish is a present destruction.
15The rich man’s wealth is his strong city: The destruction of the poor is their poverty.
16The labor of the righteous tendeth to life; The increase of the wicked, to sin.
17He is in the way of life that heedeth correction; But he that forsaketh reproof erreth.
18He that hideth hatred is of lying lips; And he that uttereth a slander is a fool.
