But he who is devious in his ways despises Him.

In the mouth of the ignorant fool is a rod of lofty pride,
But the lips of the wise will keep them.

And his children will have refuge.
The fear of Yahweh is a fountain of life,
To turn aside from the snares of death.

Righteousness exalts a nation,
But sin is a disgrace to any people.
