An evil man is ensnared by the transgression of his lips,But the righteous will escape from trouble.
He who conceals a transgression seeks love,But he who repeats a matter separates intimate friends.
He who loves transgression loves strife;He who raises his door seeks destruction.
A man’s discretion makes him slow to anger,And it is his glory to overlook a transgression.
By the transgression of a land many are its princes,But by a man of understanding and knowledge, so it endures.
He who robs his father or his motherAnd says, “It is not a transgression,”Is the companion of a man who destroys.
By transgression an evil man is ensnared,But the righteous sings and rejoices.
When the wicked increase, transgression increases;But the righteous will see their fall.
An angry man stirs up strife,And a hot-tempered man abounds in transgression.
