17 The way of life is for those who observe discipline. But whoever abandons correction wanders astray.
18 Lying lips conceal hatred; whoever brings forth contempt is unwise.
19 In a multitude of speaking, sin will not be lacking. But whoever tempers his lips is most prudent.
20 The tongue of the just is choice silver. But the heart of the impious is exchanged for nothing.
21 The lips of the just instruct many. But those who are unlearned shall die in destitution of heart.
