²⁸ A lying tongue hates ^[a]those it crushes,
And a ^(A)flattering mouth works ruin.

¹⁶ A ^(A)leader who is a great oppressor lacks understanding,
But a person who hates unjust gain will prolong his days.

¹⁰ People of ^(A)bloodshed hate the blameless person,
But the upright ^[a]are concerned for his life.
