9 The honest person will live in safety,but the dishonest will be caught.
10 A wink may get you into trouble,and foolish talk will lead to your ruin.
11 The words of a good person give life, like a fountain of water,but the words of the wicked contain nothing but violence.
12 Hatred stirs up trouble,but love forgives all wrongs.
13 Wise people speak with understanding,but people without wisdom should be punished.
14 The wise don’t tell everything they know,but the foolish talk too much and are ruined.
15 Having lots of money protects the rich,but having no money destroys the poor.
