⁴ An evildoer heeds wicked lips.
    A liar gives ear to a mischievous tongue.

²⁰ One who has a perverse heart doesn’t find prosperity,
    and one who has a deceitful tongue falls into trouble.

¹⁸ Like a madman who shoots torches, arrows, and death,
¹⁹     is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, “Am I not joking?”

²⁸ A lying tongue hates those it hurts;
    and a flattering mouth works ruin.
