Proverbs 13:13-14

¹³Whosoever speaketh ill of any thing, bindeth himself for the time to come: but he that feareth the commandment, shall dwell in peace. Deceitful souls go astray in sins: the just are merciful, and shew mercy.

¹⁴The law of the wise is a fountain of life, that he may decline from the ruin of death.
