7The righteous person makes those who remember him happy, but the name of the wicked will rot away.
8Those who are sensible accept commands, but a talkative fool will come to ruin.
9He who walks in integrity walks in safety, but the one who makes his ways crooked, he will be found out.
10He who winks the eye causes grief, but a talkative fool will be thrown down.
11The mouth of the righteous person is a water spring of life, but the mouth of the wicked covers up violence.
12Hatred stirs up conflicts, but love covers over all offenses.
13Wisdom is found on the lips of a discerning person, but a rod is for the back of the one who has no sense.
