14. A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth; And the doings of a man’s hands shall be rendered unto him.
15. The way of a fool is right in his own eyes; But he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsel.
16. A fool’s vexation is presently known; But a prudent man concealeth shame.
17. He that uttereth truth showeth forth righteousness; But a false witness, deceit.
18. There is that speaketh rashly like the piercings of a sword; But the tongue of the wise is health.
19. The lip of truth shall be established for ever; But a lying tongue is but for a moment.
20. Deceit is in the heart of them that devise evil; But to the counsellors of peace is joy.
21. There shall no mischief happen to the righteous; But the wicked shall be filled with evil.
22. Lying lips are an abomination to Jehovah; But they that deal truly are his delight.
23. A prudent man concealeth knowledge; But the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
24. The hand of the diligent shall bear rule; But the slothful shall be put under taskwork.
25. Heaviness in the heart of a man maketh it stoop; But a good word maketh it glad.
26. The righteous is a guide to his neighbor; But the way of the wicked causeth them to err.
27. The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting; But the precious substance of men is to the diligent.
28. In the way of righteousness is life; And in the pathway thereof there is no death.
