16. A fool's vexation is presently known: but a prudent man concealeth shame.
17. He that uttereth truth sheweth forth righteousness, but a false witness deceit.
18. There is that speaketh rashly like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.
19. The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
20. Deceit is in the heart of them that devise evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy.
21. There shall no mischief happen to the righteous: but the wicked shall be filled with evil.
