11. The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.

12. Hatred stirs up conflicts,but love covers all offenses.

13. Wisdom is found on the lips of the discerning,but a rod is for the back of the one who lacks sense.

14. The wise store up knowledge,but the mouth of the fool hastens destruction.

15. A rich man’s wealth is his fortified city; the poverty of the poor is their destruction.
