JPS_ASV_Byz(i)
21 The wise in heart is called a man of discernment; and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
22 Understanding is a fountain of life unto him that hath it; but folly is the chastisement of fools.
23 The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.
24 Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
25 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
26 The hunger of the labouring man laboureth for him; for his mouth compelleth him.
27 An ungodly man diggeth up evil, and in his lips there is as a burning fire.
28 A froward man soweth strife; and a whisperer separateth familiar friends.
29 A man of violence enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into a way that is not good.
30 He that shutteth his eyes, it is to devise froward things; he that biteth his lips bringeth evil to pass.
31 The hoary head is a crown of glory, it is found in the way of righteousness.
32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.
33 The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD.
