7 The name of the righteous is used in blessings,but the name of the wicked will rot.
8 The wise in heart accept commands,but a chattering fool comes to ruin.
9 Whoever walks in integrity walks securely,but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out.
10 Whoever winks maliciously causes grief,and a chattering fool comes to ruin.
11 The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life,but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
12 Hatred stirs up conflict,but love covers over all wrongs.
13 Wisdom is found on the lips of the discerning,but a rod is for the back of one who has no sense.
