- The words of a wise man's mouth win him favor,
but the lips of a fool consume him.
The hope of the righteous brings joy,
but the expectation of the wicked will perish. He who walks blamelessly and does what is right
and speaks truth in his heart;
who does not slander with his tongue
and does no evil to his neighbor,
nor takes up a reproach against his friend.Next verse!With image
