¹¹ A city is honored by the blessing of the virtuous;
    it is destroyed by the words of the wicked.

¹³ The wicked are trapped by the transgressions of their lips,
    but the righteous escape from distress.
¹⁴ From the fruit of their speech, people are well satisfied;
    their work results in reward.

² People eat well from the fruit of their words,
    but the treacherous have an appetite only for violence.

²⁸ The righteous heart reflects before answering,
    but the wicked mouth blurts out evil.

⁴ An evildoer pays attention to guilty lips;
    a liar listens to a destructive tongue.
