19In the abundance of words transgression ceaseth not, And whoso is restraining his lips is wise.
20The tongue of the righteous is chosen silver, The heart of the wicked — as a little thing.
21The lips of the righteous delight many, And fools for lack of heart die.
22The blessing of Jehovah — it maketh rich, And He addeth no grief with it.
23To execute inventions is as play to a fool, And wisdom to a man of understanding.
24The feared thing of the wicked it meeteth him, And the desire of the righteous is given.
25As the passing by of a hurricane, So the wicked is not, And the righteous is a foundation age-during.
26As vinegar to the teeth, And as smoke to the eyes, So is the slothful to those sending him.
