⁴ Evil people listen to evil words.
    Liars pay attention to cruel words.

²⁰ A person with an evil heart will find no success,
    and the person whose words are evil will get into trouble.

19 It is better to be poor and honest
    than to be foolish and tell lies.

¹⁸ Like a madman shooting
    deadly, burning arrows
¹⁹ is the one who tricks a neighbor
    and then says, “I was just joking.”

²⁸ Liars hate the people they hurt,
    and false praise can ruin others.
