The Righteous and Wicked Compared
6 Blessings come[a] upon the head of the righteous,
but the words[b] of the wicked conceal violence.
7 The reputation[c] of the righteous leads to blessing,
but the name of the wicked will rot.
8 The wise person[d] accepts commands,
but the chattering fool will be brought down.
9 Whoever walks in integrity lives prudently,[e]
but whoever perverts his way of life will be exposed.
10 Those who wink their eyes[f] are trouble makers,
and the mocking fool will be brought down.[g]
11 What the righteous say[h] is a flowing fountain,[i]
but what the wicked say[j] conceals violence.
12 Hatred awakens contention,
but love covers all transgressions.
13 Wisdom characterizes the speech[k] of the discerning,
but the rod is for the backs of those lacking discernment.
