MKJV(i)
21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent, and the sweetness of the lips increases learning.
22 Understanding is a fountain of life to him who has it, but the instruction of fools is folly.
23 The heart of the wise teaches his mouth, and adds learning to his lips.
24 Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
25 There is a way that seems right to a man, but the end of it is the ways of death.
26 He who labors works for himself, for his mouth craves it from him.
27 An ungodly man plots evil, and his lips are like a burning fire.
28 A perverse man causes fighting, and a whisperer separates chief friends.
29 A violent man lures his neighbor and makes him go in a way not good.
30 He shuts his eyes to think of perverse things; moving his lips, he brings evil to pass.
31 The gray head is a crown of glory, if it is found in the way of righteousness.
32 He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit is better than he who takes a city.
33 The lot is cast into the lap, but the whole disposing of it is from Jehovah.
