¹² He who is void of wisdom despises his neighbor,
    but a man of understanding holds his peace.

¹⁸ There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword,
    but the tongue of the wise is health.

⁴ A wholesome tongue is a tree of life,
    but perverseness in it crushes the spirit.

²⁷ An ungodly man digs up evil,
    and in his lips there is as a burning fire.

²³ The north wind brings rain,
    and a backbiting tongue an angry countenance.
