12The desires of the ungodly are evil; But the roots of the godly are firmly set.
13For the sin of his lips a sinner falls into snares; But a righteous man escapes from them.
13aHe whose looks are gentle shall be pitied, But he that contends in the gates will afflict souls.
14The soul of a man shall be filled with good from the fruits of his mouth; And the recompense of his lips shall be given to him.
15The ways of fools are right in their own eyes; But a wise man hearkens to counsels.
16A fool declares his wrath the same day; But a prudent man hides his own disgrace.
17A righteous man declares the open truth; But an unjust witness is deceitful.
18Some wound as they speak, like swords; But the tongues of the wise heal.
19True lips establish testimony; But a hasty witness has an unjust tongue.
