2 The tongue of the wise treats knowledge correctly,but the mouth of the fool spouts out folly.
3 The eyes of the Lord are in every place,keeping watch on those who are evil and those who are good.
4 Speech that heals is like a life-giving tree,but a perverse tongue breaks the spirit.
5 A fool rejects his father’s discipline,but whoever heeds reproof shows good sense.
6 In the house of the righteous is abundant wealth,but the income of the wicked brings trouble.
7 The lips of the wise spread knowledge,but not so the heart of fools.
8 The Lord abhors the sacrifices of the wicked,but the prayer of the upright pleases him.
