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

20 The tongue of the righteous is choice silver;
The heart of the wicked is worth little.

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

23 ^aTo do evil is like sport to a fool,
But a man of understanding has wisdom. ‡
