- 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 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 lips of the righteous feed many, But fools die for lack of understanding.
