For they that eat his bread, are of a false tongue. How often, and how many will laugh him to scorn!
19
For he doth not distribute with right understanding that which was to be had: in like manner also that which was not to be had.
20
The slipping of a false tongue is as one that falleth on the pavement: so the fall of the wicked shall come speedily.
21
A man without grace is as a vain fable, it shall be continually in the mouth of the unwise.
22
A parable coming out, of a fool's mouth shall be rejected: for he doth not speak it in due season.
23
There is that is hindered from sinning through want, and in his rest he shall be pricked.
24
There is that will destroy his own soul through shamefacedness, and by occasion of an unwise person he will destroy it: and by respect of person he will destroy himself.
25
There is that for bashfulness promiseth to his friend, and maketh him his enemy for nothing.
26
A lie is a foul blot in a man, and yet it will be continually in the mouth of men without discipline.
27
A thief is better than a man that is always lying: but both of them shall inherit destruction.
28
The manners of lying men are without honour: and their confusion is with them without ceasing.
