16The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruite of the wicked to sinne. 17He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but hee that refuseth reproofe, erreth. 18Hee that hideth hatred with lying lippes, and he that vttereth a slander, is a foole. 19In the multitude of words there wanteth not sinne: but he that refraineth his lippes, is wise. 20The tongue of the iust is as choise siluer: the heart of the wicked is little worth.
