4 An evildoer listens to wicked lips, and a liar gives ear to a mischievous tongue.
20 (A)A man of crooked heart does not discover good, and one with a dishonest tongue falls into calamity.
19 (A)Better is a poor person who (B)walks in his integrity than one who is crooked in speech and is a fool.
18 Like a madman who throws (A)firebrands, arrows, and death19 is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, “I am only joking!”
28 A lying tongue hates its victims, and a flattering mouth works ruin.
