13 Wisdom is found on the lips of a person who has understanding,but a rod is for the back of one without sense.
14 Those who are wise store up knowledge,but the mouth of a stubborn fool invites ruin.
15 The rich person’s wealth is ⌊his⌋ strong city.Poverty ruins the poor.
16 A righteous person’s reward is life.A wicked person’s harvest is sin.
17 Whoever practices discipline is on the way to life,but whoever ignores a warning strays.
18 Whoever conceals hatred has lying lips.Whoever spreads slander is a fool.
19 Sin is unavoidable when there is much talk,but whoever seals his lips is wise.
