8 The wise do what they are told, but a talkative fool will be ruined.
9 The honest person will live in safety, but the dishonest will be caught.
10 A wink may get you into trouble, and foolish talk will lead to your ruin.
11 The words of a good person give life, like a fountain of water, but the words of the wicked contain nothing but violence.
12 Hatred stirs up trouble, but love forgives all wrongs.
13 Smart people speak wisely, but people without wisdom should be punished.
