14 The wise lay up knowledge, and the mouth of a fool 'is' near ruin.
15 The wealth of the rich 'is' his strong city, The ruin of the poor 'is' their poverty.
16 The wage of the righteous 'is' for life, The increase of the wicked for sin.
17 A traveller to life 'is' he who is keeping instruction, And whoso is forsaking rebuke is erring.
18 Whoso is covering hatred with lying lips, And whoso is bringing out an evil report is a fool.
