8A wise man in heart will receive commandments; but he that is unguarded in his lips shall be overthrown in his perverseness.
9He that walks simply, walks confidently; but he that perverts his ways shall be known.
10He that winks with his eyes deceitfully, procures griefs for men; but he that reproves boldly is a peacemaker.
11There is a fountain of life in the hand of a righteous man; but destruction shall cover the mouth of the ungodly.
12Hatred stirs up strife; but affection covers all that do not love strife.
13He that brings forth wisdom from his lips smites the fool with a rod.
14The wise will hide discretion; but the mouth of the hasty draws near to ruin.
15The wealth of rich men is a strong city; but poverty is the ruin of the ungodly.
16The works of the righteous produce life; but the fruits of the ungodly produce sins.
17Instruction keeps the right ways of life; but instruction unchastened goes astray.
18Righteous lips cover enmity; but they that utter railings are most foolish.
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.
29The fear of the Lord is a strong hold of the saints: but ruin comes to them that work wickedness.
