17. He is in the way of life that heedeth correction; But he that forsaketh reproof erreth.
18. He that hideth hatred is of lying lips; And he that uttereth a slander is a fool.
19. In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression; But he that refraineth his lips doeth wisely.
20. The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver: The heart of the wicked is little worth.
21. The lips of the righteous feed many; But the foolish die for lack of understanding.
