The mouth of the righteous flows with [skillful and godly] wisdom,
But the perverted tongue will be cut out.

Good understanding wins favor [from others],
But the way of the unfaithful is hard [like barren, dry soil].

A relative offended is harder to reach than a strong city, and disputes are like the barred gates of a fortified citadel.

Sheol; and the barren womb; The earth that is not satisfied with water; And the fire that saith not, Enough.
