evil behavior and perverse speech. - The soothing tongue is a tree of life,

keep corrupt talk far from your lips. - Do not envy the violent
or choose any of their ways.

but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out. - The heart is deceitful above all things
and beyond cure. Who can understand it?

to reward each person according to their conduct,
according to what their deeds deserve.” - The integrity of the upright guides them,
