Proverbs 17:20

Wycliffe's Bible with Modern Spelling

He that is of wayward heart, shall not find good; and he that turneth the tongue, shall fall into evil.

See the chapter Copy

And with a chosen man, thou shalt be chosen; and with a wayward man, thou shalt be wayward.

He that beckoneth with the eye, shall give sorrow; a fool shall be beaten with his own lips.

Wise men hide knowing; but the mouth of a fool is next to confusion.

The mouth of a just [or rightwise] man shall bring forth wisdom; the tongue of shrews shall perish.

For why evil men have not hope of things to come, and the lantern of wicked men shall be quenched.

For each deceiver is abomination to the Lord; and his speaking is with simple men.

The dread of the Lord hateth evil; I curse boast, and pride, and a shrewd way, and a double-tongued mouth.

The words of the mouth of a wise man be grace; and the lips of an unwise man shall cast him down.
