20 The tongue of the righteous is like choice silver. The heart of the wicked is of little worth.
21 The lips of the righteous feed many, But the foolish die for lack of understanding.
22 The blessing of Yahweh brings wealth, And he adds no trouble to it.
23 It is a fool`s pleasure to do wickedness, But wisdom is a man of understanding`s pleasure.
24 What the wicked fear, will overtake them, But the desire of the righteous will be granted.
25 When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more; But the righteous is an everlasting foundation.
26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, So is the sluggard to those who send him.
