⁴ An evildoer pays attention to guilty lips;
    a liar listens to a destructive tongue.

²⁰ Those with crooked hearts won’t prosper,
    and those with twisted tongues will fall into trouble.

19 Better to be poor and walk in innocence
    than to have dishonest lips and be a fool.

¹⁸ Like a crazy person shooting deadly flaming arrows
¹⁹     are those who deceive their neighbor and say, “Hey, I was only joking!”

²⁸ A lying tongue hates those it crushes;
    a flattering mouth causes destruction.
