12 Hatred stirreth up strifes:but love covereth all sins.
13 In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found:but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.
14 Wise men lay up knowledge:but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.
15 The rich man's wealth is his strong city:the destruction of the poor is their poverty.
16 The labor of the righteous tendeth to life:the fruit of the wicked to sin.
17 He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction:but he that refuseth reproof erreth.
18 He that hideth hatred with lying lips,and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.
