A worthless and wicked person walks around saying perverse things;

The one who conducts himself in integrity will live securely, but the one who behaves perversely will be found out.

The one who goes about slandering others reveals secrets, but the one who is trustworthy conceals a matter.

The one who associates with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.

The one who walks in his uprightness fears the Lord, but the one who is perverted in his ways despises him.

Better is a poor person who walks in his integrity than one who is perverse in his speech and is a fool.

The one who goes about gossiping reveals secrets; therefore do not associate with someone who is always opening his mouth.

A poor person who walks in his integrity is better than one who is perverse in his ways even though he is rich.

The one who walks blamelessly will be delivered, but whoever is perverse in his ways will fall at once.

But the path of the righteous is like the bright morning light, growing brighter and brighter until full day.

Suddenly he went after her like an ox that goes to the slaughter, like a stag prancing into a trapper’s snare
