With his mouth the evil man sends destruction on his neighbour; but through knowledge the upright are taken out of trouble.

In the sin of the lips is a net which takes the sinner, but the upright man will come out of trouble.

But the Lord is the saviour of the upright: he is their strength in the time of trouble.
