In context
16 The labour of the righteous, [leadeth] to life, the increase of the lawless, to sin.
17 On the way to life, is he that heedeth correction, but, he that hateth reproof, is going astray.
18 He that concealeth hatred, hath false lips, and he that sendeth forth slander, the same, is a dullard.
19 In the multitude of words, there wanteth not transgression, but, he that restraineth his lips, sheweth prudence.
20 Choice silver, is the tongue of the righteous, but, the sense of the lawless, is very small.
21 The lips of the righteous, feed multitudes, but, the foolish, for lack of sense, shall die.
22 The blessing of Yahweh, itself maketh rich, and he addeth no grievance therewith.
