10:17 A traveller to life [is] he who is keeping instruction, And whoso is forsaking rebuke is erring.

10:18 Whoso is covering hatred with lying lips, And whoso is bringing out an evil report is a fool.

10:19 In the abundance of words transgression ceaseth not, And whoso is restraining his lips [is] wise.

10:20 The tongue of the righteous [is] chosen silver, The heart of the wicked -- as a little thing.

10:21 The lips of the righteous delight many, And fools for lack of heart die.

10:22 The blessing of Jehovah -- it maketh rich, And He addeth no grief with it.

10:23 To execute inventions [is] as play to a fool, And wisdom to a man of understanding.

10:24 The feared thing of the wicked it meeteth him, And the desire of the righteous is given.

10:25 As the passing by of a hurricane, So the wicked is not, And the righteous is a foundation age-during.

10:26 As vinegar to the teeth, And as smoke to the eyes, So [is] the slothful to those sending him.

10:29 The way of Jehovah [is] strength to the perfect, And ruin to workers of iniquity.

10:30 The righteous to the age is not moved, And the wicked inhabit not the earth.

10:31 The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, And the tongue of frowardness is cut out.

10:32 The lips of the righteous know a pleasing thing, And the mouth of the wicked perverseness!

11:1 Balances of deceit [are] an abomination to Jehovah, And a perfect weight [is] His delight.

11:2 Pride hath come, and shame cometh, And with the lowly [is] wisdom.

11:3 The integrity of the upright leadeth them, And the perverseness of the treacherous destroyeth them.
