- The wages of the righteous is life, The income of the wicked, punishment.
- He is on the path of life who heeds instruction, But he who ignores reproof goes astray.
- He who conceals hatred has lying lips, And he who spreads slander is a fool.
- When there are many words, transgression is unavoidable, But he who restrains his lips is wise.
- The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver, The heart of the wicked is worth little.

- He who heeds discipline shows the way to life, but whoever ignores correction leads others astray.
- He who conceals his hatred has lying lips, and whoever spreads slander is a fool.
- When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise.
- The tongue of the righteous is choice silver, but the heart of the wicked is of little value.
