The tongue has the power of life
and death,
and those who love it will eat its
fruit.
Gray hair is a crown of splendor;
it is attained by a righteous life.
A wise man’s heart guides his
mouth,
and his lips promote instruction.
Whoever gives heed to instruction
prospers,
and blessed is he who trusts in
Yahuah.
The highway of the upright avoids
evil;
he who guards his way guards his
life.
How much better to get wisdom
than gold,
to choose understanding rather
then silver!
When a man’s ways are pleasing to
Yahuah,
he makes even his enemies live at
peace with him.
Commit to Yahuah whatever
you do,
and your plans will succeed.
