18 The one who conceals hatred utters lies,and the one who spreads slander is certainly a fool.
19 When words abound, transgression is inevitable,but the one who restrains his words is wise.
20 What the righteous say is like the best silver,but what the wicked think is of little value.
21 The teaching of the righteous feeds many,but fools die for lack of wisdom.
22 The blessing from the Lord makes a person rich,and he adds no sorrow to it.
23 Carrying out a wicked scheme is enjoyable to a fool,and so is wisdom for the one who has discernment.
24 What the wicked fears will come on him;what the righteous desire will be granted.
