012:018 There is one who speaks rashly like the piercing of a sword, but the tongue of the wise heals. 012:019 Truth's lips will be established forever, but a lying tongue is only momentary. 012:020 Deceit is in the heart of those who plot evil, but joy comes to the promoters of peace. 012:021 No mischief shall happen to the righteous, but the wicked shall be filled with evil. 012:022 Lying lips are an abomination to Yahweh, but those who do the truth are his delight. 012:023 A prudent man keeps his knowledge, but the hearts of fools proclaim foolishness. 012:024 The hands of the diligent ones shall rule, but laziness ends in slave labor. 012:025 Anxiety in a man's heart weighs it down, but a kind word makes it glad. 012:026 A righteous person is cautious in friendship, but the way of the wicked leads them astray. 012:027 The slothful man doesn't roast his game, but the possessions of diligent men are prized. 012:028 In the way of righteousness is life; in its path there is no death. 013:001 A wise son listens to his father's instruction, but a scoffer doesn't listen to rebuke. 013:002 By the fruit of his lips, a man enjoys good things; but the unfaithful crave violence. 013:003 He who guards his mouth guards his soul. One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin. 013:004 The soul of the sluggard desires, and has nothing, but the desire of the diligent shall be fully satisfied. 013:005 A righteous man hates lies, but a wicked man brings shame and disgrace. 013:006 Righteousness guards the way of integrity, but wickedness overthrows the sinner. 013:007 There are some who pretend to be rich, yet have nothing. There are some who pretend to be poor, yet have great wealth. 013:008 The ransom of a man's life is his riches, but the poor hear no threats. 013:009 The light of the righteous shines brightly, but the lamp of the wicked is snuffed out. 013:010 Pride only breeds quarrels, but with ones who take advice is wisdom. 013:011 Wealth gained dishonestly dwindles away, but he who gathers by hand makes it grow. 013:012 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when longing is fulfilled, it is a tree of life. 013:013 Whoever despises instruction will pay for it, but he who respects a command will be rewarded. 013:014 The teaching of the wise is a spring of life, to turn from the snares of death. 013:015 Good understanding wins favor; but the way of the unfaithful is hard. 013:016 Every prudent man acts from knowledge, but a fool exposes folly. 013:017 A wicked messenger falls into trouble, but a trustworthy envoy gains healing. 013:018 Poverty and shame come to him who refuses discipline, but he who heeds correction shall be honored. 013:019 Longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul, but fools detest turning from evil.
