15 The way of a fool is upright in his own eyes, but he who listens to advice is wise.
16 As for a fool, on that very day he makes his anger known, but he who ignores an insult is prudent.
17 He who will speak truth will reveal righteousness, but the witness of falsehood, deceit.
18 There is one who speaks rashly, like the thrust of a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
19 A lip of truth endures forever, but a tongue of deception lasts only a moment.
20 Deceit is in the heart of those who plan evil, but to those who plan peace, there is joy.
21 No evil will happen to the righteous, but the wicked are filled with trouble.
