11 The words of good peopleare a source of life,but evil hides behindthe words of the wicked.
12 Hatred stirs up trouble;love overlooks the wrongsthat others do.
13 If you have good sense,it will show when you speak.But if you are stupid,you will be beatenwith a stick.
14 If you have good sense,you will learn all you can,but foolish talkwill soon destroy you.
15 Great wealth can be a fortress,but povertyis no protection at all.
16 If you live right,the reward is a good life;if you are evil,all you have is sin.
17 Accept correction,and you will find life;reject correction,and you will miss the road.
