22. A fountain of life [is] understanding to its possessors, The instruction of fools is folly.
23. The heart of the wise causeth his mouth to act wisely, And by his lips he increaseth learning,
24. Sayings of pleasantness [are] a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul, and healing to the bone.
25. There is a way right before a man, And its latter end--ways of death.
26. A labouring man hath laboured for himself, For his mouth hath caused [him] to bend over it.
27. A worthless man is preparing evil, And on his lips--as a burning fire.
28. A froward man sendeth forth contention, A tale-bearer is separating a familiar friend.
29. A violent man enticeth his neighbour, And hath causeth him to go in a way not good.
30. Consulting his eyes to devise froward things, Moving his lips he hath accomplished evil.
31. A crown of beauty [are] grey hairs, In the way of righteousness it is found.
32. Better [is] the slow to anger than the mighty, And the ruler over his spirit than he who is taking a city.
33. Into the centre is the lot cast, And from Jehovah [is] all its judgment!
