He who guards his mouth and tongue keeps his soul from distress.
Context
21Yeye afuatiaye haki na upendo
hupata uzima, mafanikio na heshima. 22Mtu mwenye hekima huushambulia mji wa wenye nguvu,
na kuangusha ngome wanazozitegemea. 23Yeye alindaye kinywa chake na ulimi wake
hujilinda na maafa. 24Mtu mwenye kiburi na majivuno, “Mdhihaki” ndilo jina lake;
hutenda mambo kwa kiburi kilichozidi. 25Kutamani sana kwa mvivu kutakuwa kifo chake,
kwa sababu mikono yake haitaki kufanya kazi.
