MLV(i)
21 The wise in heart will be called prudent and the sweetness of the lips increases learning.
22 Understanding is a well-spring of life to him who has it, but the correction of fools is folly.
23 The heart of the wise instructs his mouth and adds learning to his lips.
24 Pleasant words are a honeycomb: Sweet to the soul and health to the bones.
25 There is a way which seems right to a man, but the end of it are the ways of death.
26 The appetite of the laboring man labors for him, because his mouth urges him.
27 A worthless man devises mischief and in his lips there is as a scorching fire.
28 A perverse man scatters abroad strife and a whisperer separates chief friends.
29 A man of violence entices his neighbor and leads him in a way that is not good.
30 He who shuts his eyes devises perverse things. He who moves his lips completes evil things.
31 The hoary head is a crown of glory. It will be found in the way of righteousness.
32 He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty and he who rules his spirit, than he who takes a city.
33 The lot is cast into the lap, but the whole disposing of it is of Jehovah.
