18Hee that hideth hatred with lying lippes, and he that vttereth a slander, is a foole. 19In the multitude of words there wanteth not sinne: but he that refraineth his lippes, is wise. 20The tongue of the iust is as choise siluer: the heart of the wicked is little worth. 21The lippes of the righteous feed many: but fooles die for want of wisedome. 22The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and hee addeth no sorrow with it.
