17 The person who accepts correction is on the way to life.But the person who ignores correction will be ruined.
18 Whoever hides his hate is a liar.Whoever tells lies is a fool.
19 If you talk a lot, you are sure to sin.If you are wise, you will keep quiet.
20 The words of a good person are like pure silver.But an evil person’s thoughts are worth little.
21 A good person’s words will help many others.But a foolish person dies because he doesn’t have wisdom.
22 The Lord’s blessing brings wealth.And with it comes no sorrow.
23 A foolish person enjoys doing wrong.But a person with understanding enjoys doing what is wise.
