15The property of the man of wealth is his strong town: the poor man's need is his destruction.
16The work of the upright gives life: the increase of the evil-doer is a cause of sin.
17He who takes note of teaching is a way of life, but he who gives up training is a cause of error.
18Hate is covered up by the lips of the upright man, but he who lets out evil about another is foolish.
19Where there is much talk there will be no end to sin, but he who keeps his mouth shut does wisely.
