15The rich man's wealth is his strong city; The destruction of the poor is their poverty.
16The earnings of the righteous minister to life; The revenues of the wicked, to sin.
17He that keepeth instruction is in the path of life; But he that refuseth reproof goeth astray.
18He that hideth hatred hath lying lips; And he that uttereth slander is a fool.
19In the multitude of words there wanteth not offence; But he who restraineth his lips is wise.
20The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver; The understanding of the wicked is of little worth.
