12The wicked desireth the net 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 shall come 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 the foolish is right 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 uttereth truth sheweth forth righteousness, but a false witness deceit.
18There is that speaketh rashly like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.
