13 In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found; but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.

14 Wise men lay up knowledge; but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.

15 The rich man's wealth is his strong city; the destruction of the poor is their poverty.

16 The labor of the righteous tendeth to life; the fruit of the wicked to sin.

17 He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction; but he that refuseth reproof erreth.

18 He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.

19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin; but he that refraineth his lips is wise.

20 The tongue of the just is as choice silver; the heart of the wicked is little worth.

21 The lips of the righteous feed many; but fools die for want of wisdom.

22 The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.

23 It is as sport to a fool to do mischief; but a man of understanding hath wisdom.
