The tongue of the righteous is choice silver; the mind of the wicked is of little worth.
21
The lips of the righteous feed many, but fools die for lack of sense.
22
The blessing of the LORD makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it.
23
Doing wrong is like sport to a fool, but wise conduct is pleasure to a person of understanding.
24
What the wicked dread will come upon them, but the desire of the righteous will be granted.
25
When the tempest passes, the wicked are no more, but the righteous are established forever.
26
Like vinegar to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes, so are the lazy to their employers.
27
The fear of the LORD prolongs life, but the years of the wicked will be short.
28
The hope of the righteous ends in gladness, but the expectation of the wicked comes to nothing.
29
The way of the LORD is a stronghold for the upright, but destruction for evildoers.
