18 Whoever ^ahides hatred has lying lips,
And ^bwhoever spreads slander is a fool. ‡

19 ^aIn the multitude of words sin is not lacking,
But ^bhe who restrains his lips is wise. ‡

21 The lips of the righteous feed many,
But fools die for lack of¹ wisdom. ‡

22 ^aThe blessing of the Lord makes one rich,
And He adds no sorrow with it. ‡
