20:5 There is one that keepeth silence, and is found wise: and another by much babbling becometh hateful.
20:6 Some man holdeth his tongue, because he hath not to answer: and some keepeth silence, knowing his time.
20:7 A wise man will hold his tongue till he see opportunity: but a babbler and a fool will regard no time.
20:8 He that useth many words shall be abhorred; and he that taketh to himself authority therein shall be hated.
20:9 There is a sinner that hath good success in evil things; and there is a gain that turneth to loss.
20:10 There is a gift that shall not profit thee; and there is a gift whose recompence is double.
20:11 There is an abasement because of glory; and there is that lifteth up his head from a low estate.
20:12 There is that buyeth much for a little, and repayeth it sevenfold.
20:13 A wise man by his words maketh him beloved: but the graces of fools shall be poured out.
