19 Whoever dwells on discord loves disputes. And whoever exalts his door seeks ruin.
20 Whoever is of a perverse heart shall not find good. And whoever turns his tongue shall fall into evil.
21 A foolish one is born into his own disgrace. But his father will not rejoice in one who is senseless.
22 A joyful soul makes a lifetime flourish. A gloomy spirit dries out the bones.
23 The impious receives gifts from the bosom, so that he may pervert the paths of judgment.
