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.
19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin:but he that refraineth his lips is wise.
20 The tongue of the just is as choice silver:the heart of the wicked is little worth.
21 The lips of the righteous feed many:but fools die for want of wisdom.
