Wise [men] lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish [is] near destruction.
The rich man's wealth [is] his strong city: the destruction of the poor [is] their poverty.
The labour of the righteous [tendeth] to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.
He [is in] the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.
He that hideth hatred [with] lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, [is] a fool.
In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips [is] wise.
