12The wicked desireth the prey of evil men; but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.
13In the transgression of the lips is a snare to the evil man; but the righteous cometh out of trouble.
14A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth, and the doings of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.
15The way of a fool is straight in his own eyes; but he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsel.
16A fool's vexation is presently known; but a prudent man concealeth shame.
17He that breatheth forth truth uttereth righteousness; but a false witness deceit.
18There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword; but the tongue of the wise is health.
