For learning what wisdom and discipline are;
for understanding insightful sayings;

for they will bring you
many days, a full life, and well-being.

A gossip’s words are like choice food
that goes down to one’s innermost being.

My innermost being will cheer
when your lips say what is right.

Rescue those being taken off to death,
and save those stumbling toward slaughter.

A gossip’s words are like choice food
that goes down to one’s innermost being.
