¹¹ By the blessing of the upright a city is raised up,
But by the mouth of the wicked it is torn down.

¹³ The snare of an evil man is in the transgression of his lips,
But the ^(A)righteous man will come out from distress.
¹⁴ A man will be ^(B)satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth,
And the good ^(C)deed of a man’s hands will return to him.

² From the fruit of a man’s mouth he ^(A)eats what is good,
But the soul of the treacherous desires ^(B)violence.

²⁸ The heart of the righteous ^(A)ponders how to answer,
But the ^(B)mouth of the wicked pours forth evil things.

⁴ An ^(A)evildoer gives heed to lips of wickedness;
^[a]A liar gives ear to a destructive tongue.
