Blessings are on the head of the righteous,
but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.

The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life,
but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.

A faithful man will have many blessings,
but one in a hurry to get rich
will not go unpunished.

All these blessings will come and overtake you, because you obey the Lord your God:

Just as the king returned from the palace garden to the house of wine drinking, Haman was falling on the couch where Esther was reclining. The king exclaimed, “Would he actually violate the queen while I am in the palace?” As soon as the statement left the king’s mouth, Haman’s face was covered.

The dying man blessed me,
and I made the widow’s heart rejoice.

The upright see it and rejoice,
and all injustice shuts its mouth.

People will curse anyone who hoards grain,
but a blessing will come to the one who sells it.

but it will go well with those who convict the guilty,
and a generous blessing will come to them.

Now we know that whatever the law says speaks to those who are subject to the law, so that every mouth may be shut and the whole world may become subject to God’s judgment.

May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains.
