²⁷ An ungodly man diggeth up evil:
    and in his lips there is as a burning fire.

²⁸ A froward man soweth strife:
    and a whisperer separateth chief friends.

²⁹ A violent man enticeth his neighbour,
    and leadeth him into the way that is not good.

³⁰ He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things:
    moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.

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

⁹ He that covereth a transgression seeketh love;
    but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.

¹⁹ He loveth transgression that loveth strife:
    and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction.

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

²⁴ Wisdom is before him that hath understanding;
    but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.
