Proverbs

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 a fool 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 showeth 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. ¹⁹The lip of truth shall be established for ever; But a lying tongue is but for a moment.
