Proverbs

¹²The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit. 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 the foolish 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 sheweth 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.
