16. The labor of the righteous leads to life;the activity of the wicked leads to sin.
17. The one who follows instruction is on the path to life,but the one who rejects correction goes astray.
18. The one who conceals hatred has lying lips,and whoever spreads slander is a fool.
19. When there are many words, sin is unavoidable,but the one who controls his lips is wise.
20. The tongue of the righteous is pure silver;the heart of the wicked is of little value.
