16 The labor of the righteous leads to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.
17 He is in the way of life that keeps instruction: but he that refuses reproof goes astray.
18 He that hides hatred with lying lips, and he that utters a slander, is a fool.
19 In the multitude of words there lacks not sin: but he that refrains his lips is wise.
20 The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is of little worth.
21 The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for lack of wisdom.
22 The blessing of the LORD, it makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it.
