16The labor of the upright leads to life. The increase of the wicked leads to sin.
17He is in the way of life who heeds correction, but he who forsakes reproof leads others astray.
18He who hides hatred has lying lips. He who utters a slander is a fool.
19In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience, but he who restrains his lips does wisely.
20The tongue of the upright is like choice silver. The heart of the wicked is of little worth.
21The lips of the upright feed many, but the foolish die for lack of understanding.
22Adonai ’s blessing brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it.
23It is a fool’s pleasure to do wickedness, but wisdom is a man of understanding’s pleasure.
24What the wicked fear, will overtake them, but the desire of the upright will be granted.
25When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more; but the upright stand firm forever.
26As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to those who send him.
