7The memoriall of the iust shalbe blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rotte.
8The wise in heart will receiue commandements: but the foolish in talke shalbe beaten.
9He that walketh vprightly, walketh boldely: but he that peruerteth his wayes, shalbe knowen.

11The mouth of a righteous man is a welspring of life: but iniquitie couereth the mouth of the wicked.
12Hatred stirreth vp contentions: but loue couereth all trespasses.
