⁴ A wicked doer gives heed to false lips,
    and a liar gives ear to a wayward tongue.

²⁰ He who has a deceitful heart finds no good,
    and he who has a perverse tongue falls into mischief.

19 Better is the poor who walks in his integrity
    than he who is perverse in his lips and is a fool.

¹⁸ As a madman who casts
    firebrands, arrows, and death,
¹⁹ so is the man who deceives his neighbor,
    and says, “I was only joking.”
