17 A foolish man will not have a friend, and there will be no thanks for his good deeds.
18 For those who eat his bread have a false tongue. How often and how many are those who will ridicule him!
19 For what he possesses, he does not distribute with correct understanding. And he acts similarly with what he does not possess.
20 The slip of a false tongue is like someone who falls upon pavement. Such a fall for the wicked will arrive quickly.
21 A disagreeable man is like a pointless fable; it will be continually in the mouth of the undisciplined.
