15. The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsels.
16. A fool immediately sheweth his anger: but he that dissembleth injuries is wise.
17. He that speaketh that which he knoweth, sheweth forth justice: but he that lieth, is a deceitful witness.
18. There is that promiseth, and is pricked as it were with a sword of conscience: but the tongue of the wise is health.
19. The lip of truth shall be steadfast for ever: but he that is a hasty witness, frameth a lying tongue.
20. Deceit is in the heart of them that think evil things: but joy followeth them that take counsels of peace.
21. Whatsoever shall befall the just man, it shall not make him sad: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
22. Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord: but they that deal faithfully please him.
23. A cautious man concealeth knowledge: and the heart of fools publisheth folly.
24. The hand of the valiant shall bear rule: but that which is slothful, shall be under tribute.
25. Grief in the heart of a man shall bring him low, but with a good word he shall be made glad.
