31 The mouth of the righteous shall exude wisdom, but the evil tongue shall be cut off.
32 The mouth of the righteous knoweth that which is acceptable, but the mouth of the wicked knoweth wickedness.

1 A false scale is an abomination to the Lord, but the right weight is pleasing to him.

3 The integrity of the upright will guide them, but the wickedness of the deceitful will destroy them.
4 Riches will not avail in the day of wrath, but righteousness will save from death.
5 The righteousness of the blameless makes his way straight, but the wicked shall fall because of his wickedness.
6 The righteousness of the upright shall save them, but the wicked shall be caught by their iniquity.
7 With the death of the wicked man, hope is gone, and the expectation of the wicked is lost.
8 The righteous man is saved from trouble, but the wicked fall into it in his place.
9 With the mouth the hypocrite destroys his neighbor, but the righteous are saved by clairvoyance.
10 In the prosperity of the righteous the city rejoices, and in the destruction of the wicked there is rejoicing.
11 By the blessing of the righteous the city is exalted, but by the mouth of the wicked it is destroyed.
12 A foolish man expresses contempt for his neighbor; but a reasonable person is silent.
13 He who walks as a carrier reveals the mystery; But a faithful man conceals the cause.
14 With lack of care, the people fall, but with many counselors they prosper.
15 Evil is done to himself by him who vouches for a stranger; but he who hates the guarantee is safe.
16 A well-behaved wife gains glory [to the husband, but a wife who hates righteousness is the height of dishonor], but the industrious gain wealth.
17 A merciful man does good to his soul, but a hard-hearted man destroys his own flesh.
