20. The tongue of the righteous is choice silver,but the heart of the wicked lacks value.
21. The lips of the righteous nourish many people,but fools who lack sense will die.
22. The Lord’s blessing makes a person rich,and no trouble is added to it.
23. Fools enjoy vile deeds,but those with understanding take pleasure in wisdom.
24. What the wicked dread will come on them,but what the righteous desire will be given to them.
25. After a whirlwind passes by, the wicked are no more,but the righteous stand firm forever.
26. Like vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes,so are lazy people to those who authorize them.
