10 Whoso is winking the eye giveth grief, And a talkative fool kicketh.
11 A fountain of life 'is' the mouth of the righteous, And the mouth of the wicked cover doth violence.
12 Hatred awaketh contentions, And over all transgressions love covereth.
13 In the lips of the intelligent is wisdom found, And a rod 'is' for the back of him who is lacking understanding.
14 The wise lay up knowledge, and the mouth of a fool 'is' near ruin.
