21. The lips of the just nourish many,but fools die for want of sense.
22. It is the Lord’s blessing that brings wealth,and no effort can substitute for it.
23. Crime is the entertainment of the fool;but wisdom is for the person of understanding.
24. What the wicked fear will befall them,but the desire of the just will be granted.
25. When the tempest passes, the wicked are no more;but the just are established forever.
26. As vinegar to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes,are sluggards to those who send them.
