⁶ The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood,
    but the mouth of the upright delivers men.

¹³ An evil man is ensnared by the transgression of his lips,
    but the righteous escapes from trouble.
¹⁴ From the fruit of his words a man is satisfied with good,
    and the work of a man’s hand comes back to him.

¹⁸ There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts,
    but the tongue of the wise brings healing.

²⁵ Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down,
    but a good word makes him glad.
