18Whoever conceals hatred has lying lips, and whoever spreads slander is a fool.
19When there are many words, transgression is not lacking, but he who is careful in what he says is wise.
20The tongue of the righteous person is pure silver; there is little value in the heart of the wicked.
21The lips of the righteous person nourish many, but fools die because of their lack of sense.
22The good gifts of Yahweh bring wealth and he adds no pain to it.
