17The way of life is to him that keepeth chastising; but he that forsaketh blamings, erreth. (The way of life is for him who receiveth discipline; but he who forsaketh rebukes, 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. (Sin shall abound with much speaking; but he who ruleth his lips, is most prudent.)
20Chosen silver is the tongue of a just man; the heart of wicked men is for nought. (Choice silver is like the tongue of a righteous person; but the hearts of the wicked be worth nothing.)
21The lips of a just man teach full many men; but they that be unlearned shall die in neediness of heart. (The lips of the righteous teach a great many people; but they who be ignorant, shall die without any understanding.)
