27 ¹An ungodly man digs up evil,
And it is on his lips like a burning ^afire. ‡

28 A perverse man sows strife,
And ^aa whisperer separates the best of friends. ‡

31 ^aThe silver-haired head is a crown of glory,
If it is found in the way of righteousness. ‡

32 ^aHe who is slow to anger is better than the mighty,
And he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city. ‡
