6 The godly are showered with blessings;the words of the wicked conceal violent intentions.
7 We have happy memories of the godly,but the name of a wicked person rots away.
8 The wise are glad to be instructed,but babbling fools fall flat on their faces.
9 People with integrity walk safely,but those who follow crooked paths will be exposed.
10 People who wink at wrong cause trouble,but a bold reproof promotes peace.
11 The words of the godly are a life-giving fountain;the words of the wicked conceal violent intentions.
12 Hatred stirs up quarrels,but love makes up for all offenses.
