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.
23A fool does mischief in sport; but wisdom brings forth prudence for a man.
24The ungodly is engulphed in destruction; but the desire of the righteous is acceptable.
25When the storm passes by, the ungodly vanishes away; but the righteous turns aside and escapes for ever.
26As a sour grape is hurtful to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes, so iniquity hurts those that practise it.
27The fear of the Lord adds length of days: but the years of the ungodly shall be shortened.
28Joy rests long with the righteous: but the hope of the ungodly shall perish.
