Understanding is a well-spring of life unto him that hath it; But the correction of fools is [their] folly.
23
The heart of the wise instructeth his mouth, And addeth learning to his lips.
24
Pleasant words are [as] a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
25
There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, But the end thereof are the ways of death.
26
The appetite of the laboring man laboreth for him; For his mouth urgeth him [thereto].
27
A worthless man deviseth mischief; And in his lips there is as a scorching fire.
28
A perverse man scattereth abroad strife; And a whisperer separateth chief friends.
29
A man of violence enticeth his neighbor, And leadeth him in a way that is not good.
30
He that shutteth his eyes, [it is] to devise perverse things: He that compresseth his lips bringeth evil to pass.
31
The hoary head is a crown of glory; It shall be found in the way of righteousness.
32
He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; And he that ruleth his spirit, than he that taketh a city.
