13. The gossip of bad people gets them in trouble;the conversation of good people keeps them out of it.
14. Well-spoken words bring satisfaction;well-done work has its own reward.
15. Fools are headstrong and do what they like;wise people take advice.
16. Fools have short fuses and explode all too quickly;the prudent quietly shrug off insults.
17. Truthful witness by a good person clears the air,but liars lay down a smoke screen of deceit.
18. Rash language cuts and maims,but there is healing in the words of the wise.
19. Truth lasts;lies are here today, gone tomorrow.
20. Evil scheming distorts the schemer;peace-planning brings joy to the planner.
