6 Blessings belong to the head of the righteous,
but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
7 The memory of righteousness is like a blessing,
but the name of the wicked will rot.

but a babbling fool will come to ruin.

but whoever follows perversity, his ways will be made known.

and the foolishness of lips comes to ruin.

and a mouth of wickedness conceals violence.

but a rod is for the back of one who lacks sense.[c]
