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.
20There is deceit in the heart of him that imagines evil; but they that love peace shall rejoice.
21No injustice will please a just man; but the ungodly will be filled with mischief.
