18Righteous lips cover enmity; but they that utter railings are most foolish.
19By a multitude of words thou shalt not escape sin; but if thou refrain thy lips thou wilt be prudent.
20The tongue of the just is tried silver; but the heart of the ungodly shall fail.
21The lips of the righteous know sublime truths: but the foolish die in want.
22The blessing of the Lord is upon the head of the righteous; it enriches him, and grief of heart shall not be added to it.
