The one who brings ruin on his household
will inherit the wind,
and a fool will be a slave
to someone whose heart is wise.

The one who guards his mouth protects his life;
the one who opens his lips invites his own ruin.

Don’t fear sudden danger
or the ruin of the wicked when it comes,

I am on the verge of complete ruin
before the entire community.”

Though a righteous man falls seven times,
he will get up,
but the wicked will stumble into ruin.

Thistles had come up everywhere,
weeds covered the ground,
and the stone wall was ruined.

A lying tongue hates those it crushes,
and a flattering mouth causes ruin.

>

One with a twisted mind will not succeed,
and one with deceitful speech will fall into ruin.

A foolish son is his father’s ruin,
and a wife’s nagging is an endless dripping.

The Righteous One considers the house of the wicked;
He brings the wicked to ruin.
