6 Blessings are on the head of the righteous,
But the mouth of the wicked covers up violence.
7 The remembrance of the righteous is blessed,
But the name of the wicked will rot.
8 The wise of heart will receive commandments,
But an ignorant fool of loose lips will be ruined.
9 He who walks in integrity walks securely,
But he who makes his ways crooked will be found out.
10 He who winks the eye causes pain,
And an ignorant fool of loose lips will be ruined.
11 The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life,
But the mouth of the wicked covers up violence.
12 Hatred stirs up strife,
But love covers all transgressions.
13 On the lips of the one who has understanding, wisdom is found,
But a rod is for the back of him who lacks a heart of wisdom.
