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

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.

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

24 ^aThe fear of the wicked will come upon him,
And ^bthe desire of the righteous will be granted.
