18. There is one that speaks like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise brings health.

20. Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counselors of peace there is joy.
21. There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with trouble.
22. Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.
