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

14Wise men lay up knowledge; But the mouth of the foolish is a present destruction.

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

16The labor of the righteous [tendeth] to life; The increase of the wicked, to sin.

17He is in the way of life that heedeth correction; But he that forsaketh reproof erreth.

18He that hideth hatred is of lying lips; And he that uttereth a slander is a fool.

19In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression; But he that refraineth his lips doeth wisely.
