Proverbs 10:17-21

¹⁷The way of life is to him that keepeth chastising or discipline; but he that forsaketh blamings, erreth.

¹⁸False lips hide hatred; he that bringeth forth despising is unwise.

¹⁹Sin shall not fail in much speaking; but he that measureth his lips, is most prudent.

²⁰Chosen silver is the tongue of a just or rightwise man; the heart of wicked men is for nought.

²¹The lips of a just or rightwise man teach full many men; but they that be unlearned shall die in neediness of heart.
