15. The way of a fool [is] right in his own eyes, And whoso is hearkening to counsel [is] wise.
16. The fool--in a day is his anger known, And the prudent is covering shame.
17. Whoso uttereth faithfulness declareth righteousness, And a false witness--deceit.
18. A rash speaker is like piercings of a sword, And the tongue of the wise is healing.
19. The lip of truth is established for ever, And for a moment--a tongue of falsehood.
