16. The labor of the righteous leads to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.
17. He is in the way of life that keeps instruction: but he that refuses reproof goes astray.
18. He that hides hatred with lying lips, and he that utters a slander, is a fool.
19. In the multitude of words there lacks not sin: but he that refrains his lips is wise.
20. The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is of little worth.
