21 There is that is hindered from sinning through lack; And when he takes rest, he shall not be troubled.
22 There is that destroys his soul through bashfulness; And by a foolish countenance he will destroy it.
23 There is that for bashfulness promises to his friend; And he makes him his enemy for nothing.
24 A lie is a foul blot in a man: It will be continually in the mouth of the ignorant.
25 A thief is better than a man that is continually lying: But they both shall inherit destruction.
26 The disposition of a liar is dishonor; And his shame is with him continually.
27 He that is wise in words shall advance himself; And one that is prudent will please great men.
