8The wise in heart will accept commandments; but he that is a fool in his speaking will stumble.
9He that walketh uprightly ever walketh securely; but he that perverteth his ways will be punished.
10He that winketh with the eye causeth vexation; and he that is a fool in his speaking will stumble.
11A source of life is the mouth of the righteous; but the mouth of the wicked covereth violence.
12Hatred stirreth up strifes; but love throweth a cover over all transgressions.
13On the lips of the man of understanding there is found wisdom: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of sense.
14Wise men treasure up knowledge; but the mouth of the foolish is an approaching terror.
15The wealth of the rich man is his strong town: the terror of the poor is their poverty.
16The labor of the righteous tendeth to life: the product of the wicked is for sin.
17On the way unto life is he that observeth correction; but he that forsaketh reproof is in error.
18He that hideth hatred hath lips of falsehood; and he that spreadeth abroad an evil report, is a fool.
19In a multitude of words transgression cannot be avoided; but he that refraineth his lips is intelligent.
20Like choice silver is the tongue of the righteous: the heart of the wicked is worth but very little.
21The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die through lack of sense.
22The blessing of the Lord it is which maketh rich, and painful labor addeth nothing thereto.
23It is as sport to a fool to do wicked deeds; but a man of understanding hath wisdom.
24What the wicked dreadeth, that will come upon him: but the longing of the righteous will God grant.
25As the whirlwind passeth by, the wicked is no more; but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.
26As vinegar is to the teeth, and as smoke is to the eyes: so is the sluggard to those that send him.
27The fear of the Lord increaseth man's days; but the years of the wicked will be shortened.
28The expectation of the righteous is joy; but the hope of the wicked shall perish.
29The way of the Lord is a stronghold to the upright; but terror is destined to the workers of injustice.
30The righteous shall never be removed; but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth.
31The mouth of the just uttereth wisdom; but the tongue of perverseness shall be cut out.
32The lips of the righteous know how to obtain favor; but the mouth of the wicked speaketh perverseness.
