15
The way of the fool
is right in his own eyes, but he that hears counsel
is wise.
16
A fool’s wrath is presently known, but he who covers the injury
is sane.
17
He that speaks truth shows forth righteousness, but a false witness, deceit.
18
There are
those that speak like the piercings of a sword, but the tongue of the wise
is medicine.
19
The lip of truth shall be established for ever, but a lying tongue
is but for a moment.
20
Deceit
is in the heart of those whose thoughts are evil, but joy in that of those whose thoughts are good.
21
No iniquity shall overtake the righteous: but the wicked shall be filled with evil.
22
Lying lips
are abomination to the LORD: but the workers of the truth
are his delight.
23
The sane man conceals his wisdom: but the heart of fools proclaims foolishness.
24
The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the negligent shall be under tribute.
25
Heaviness in the heart of man makes it stoop: but a good word makes it glad.
