17. He who keeps instruction is in the way of life,but he who refuses reproof errs.
18. He who hides hatred has lying lips,and he who spreads slander is a fool.
19. In the multitude of words sin is not lacking,but he who restrains his lips is wise.
20. The tongue of the just is as choice silver;the heart of the wicked is worth little.
21. The lips of the righteous feed many,but fools die for lack of wisdom.
