15 Fools are headstrong and do what they like;wise people take advice.
16 Fools have short fuses and explode all too quickly;the prudent quietly shrug off insults.
17 Truthful witness by a good person clears the air,but liars lay down a smoke screen of deceit.
18 Rash language cuts and maims,but there is healing in the words of the wise.
19 Truth lasts;lies are here today, gone tomorrow.
20 Evil scheming distorts the schemer;peace-planning brings joy to the planner.
21 No evil can overwhelm a good person,but the wicked have their hands full of it.
