13
In transgression of the lips [is] the snare of the wicked, And the righteous goeth out from distress.
14
From the fruit of the mouth [is] one satisfied [with] good, And the deed of man's hands returneth to him.
15
The way of a fool [is] right in his own eyes, And whoso is hearkening to counsel [is] wise.
16
The fool -- in a day is his anger known, And the prudent is covering shame.
17
Whoso uttereth faithfulness declareth righteousness, And a false witness -- deceit.
18
A rash speaker is like piercings of a sword, And the tongue of the wise is healing.
19
The lip of truth is established for ever, And for a moment -- a tongue of falsehood.
20
Deceit [is] in the heart of those devising evil, And to those counselling peace [is] joy.
21
No iniquity is desired by the righteous, And the wicked have been full of evil.
22
An abomination to Jehovah [are] lying lips, And stedfast doers [are] his delight.
23
A prudent man is concealing knowledge, And the heart of fools proclaimeth folly.
