6 Blessings are like crowns on the heads of those who do right. But the trouble caused by what sinners say destroys them.
7 To remember those who do right is a blessing. But the names of those who do wrong will rot.
8 A wise heart accepts commands. But foolish chattering destroys you.
9 Anyone who lives without blame walks safely. But anyone who takes a crooked path will get caught.
10 An evil wink gets you into trouble. And foolish chattering destroys you.
11 The mouths of those who do right are a fountain of life. But the trouble caused by what sinners say destroys them.
12 Hate stirs up fights. But love erases all sins by forgiving them.
