- 7The remembrance of the righteous `is' for a blessing, And the name of the wicked doth rot.
- 8The wise in heart accepteth commands, And a talkative fool kicketh.
- 9Whoso is walking in integrity walketh confidently, And whoso is perverting his ways is known.
- 10Whoso is winking the eye giveth grief, And a talkative fool kicketh.
- 11A fountain of life `is' the mouth of the righteous, And the mouth of the wicked cover doth violence.
- 12Hatred awaketh contentions, And over all transgressions love covereth.
- 13In the lips of the intelligent is wisdom found, And a rod `is' for the back of him who is lacking understanding.

- 18Whoso is covering hatred with lying lips, And whoso is bringing out an evil report is a fool.
- 19In the abundance of words transgression ceaseth not, And whoso is restraining his lips `is' wise.
- 20The tongue of the righteous `is' chosen silver, The heart of the wicked -- as a little thing.
- 21The lips of the righteous delight many, And fools for lack of heart die.
- 22The blessing of Jehovah -- it maketh rich, And He addeth no grief with it.
- 23To execute inventions `is' as play to a fool, And wisdom to a man of understanding.
- 24The feared thing of the wicked it meeteth him, And the desire of the righteous is given.
- 25As the passing by of a hurricane, So the wicked is not, And the righteous is a foundation age-during.
- 26As vinegar to the teeth, And as smoke to the eyes, So `is' the slothful to those sending him.
