    but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.

¹⁹ When words are many, transgression is not lacking,
    but the prudent are restrained in speech.
²⁰ The tongue of the righteous is choice silver;
    the mind of the wicked is of little worth.
²¹ The lips of the righteous feed many,
    but fools die for lack of sense.

³¹ The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom,
    but the perverse tongue will be cut off.
³² The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable,
    but the mouth of the wicked what is perverse.
