18 The one who conceals hatred has lying lips,
and whoever utters slander is a fool.
19 (A)When words are many, transgression is not lacking,
(B)but whoever restrains his lips is prudent.
20 The tongue of the righteous is (C)choice silver;
the heart of the wicked is of little worth.
21 The lips of the righteous feed many,
but fools die for (D)lack of sense.
