19 Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity
    than a man who is perverse in speech, and is a fool.

¹⁵ My son, if your heart is wise,
    my heart too will be glad.
¹⁶ My soul will rejoice
    when your lips speak what is right.

24 Be not envious of evil men,
nor desire to be with them;
² for their minds devise violence,
    and their lips talk of mischief.

⁷ Like a lame man’s legs, which hang useless,
    is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
