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.

21 Os lábios dos justo apascentam a muitos; mas os tolos, por falta de entendimento, morrem.
