- The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, But the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
- Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all transgressions.
- On the lips of the discerning, wisdom is found, But a rod is for the back of him who lacks understanding.
- Wise men store up knowledge, But with the mouth of the foolish, ruin is at hand.
- The rich man's wealth is his fortress, The ruin of the poor is their poverty.
|
- The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
- Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.
- In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.
- Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.
- The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.
|
- 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.
|
- The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.
- He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.
- He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.
- In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.
- The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth.
|
- The lips of the righteous feed many, But fools die for lack of understanding.
|
- The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom.
