16 A obra do justo é para a vida; os frutos do perverso, para o pecado.

17 O caminho para a vida [é d] aquele que guarda a correção; mas aquele que abandona a repreensão anda sem rumo.

18 Aquele que esconde o ódio [tem] lábios mentirosos; e o que produz má fama é tolo.

19 Na abundância de palavras não há falta de transgressão; mas aquele que refreia seus lábios é prudente.

20 A língua do justo [é como] prata escolhida; o coração dos perversos [vale] pouco.
