⁴ A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips;
    and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.

⁷ Excellent speech becometh not a fool:
    much less do lying lips a prince.

²⁰ He that hath a froward heart findeth no good:
    and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.

²⁷ He that hath knowledge spareth his words:
    and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.

²⁸ Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise:
    and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
