13 By the transgression of the lips, is the wicked man, ensnared, but the righteous, cometh out of distress.
14 Of the fruit of a man’s mouth, shall he be satisfied with good, and, the dealing of the hands of a son of earth, shall be paid back to him.
15 The way of the foolish, is right in his own eyes, but, he that hearkeneth to counsel, is wise.
16 A foolish man, on the [same] day, letteth his vexation be known, but, he that concealeth an affront, is prudent.
17 He that whispereth faithfulness, declareth righteousness, but, a false witness, is a fraud.
18 There is who babbleth, as with thrusts of a sword, but, the tongue of the wise, hath healing.
19 A lip that is faithful, shall be firm to futurity, but, only for a twinkling, is the tongue that is false.
