13 The wicked is ensnared by the transgression of his lips,But the righteous will come through trouble.
14 A man will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth,And the recompense of a man’s hands will be rendered to him.
15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,But he who heeds counsel is wise.
16 A fool’s wrath is known at once,But a prudent man covers shame.
17 He who speaks truth declares righteousness,But a false witness, deceit.
18 There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword,But the tongue of the wise promotes health.
19 The truthful lip shall be established forever,But a lying tongue is but for a moment.
