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.
22 The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich,and he addeth no sorrow with it.
23 It is as sport to a fool to do mischief:but a man of understanding hath wisdom.
