⁵ The upright man is a hater of false words: the evil-doer gets a bad name and is put to shame.

²⁵ The fear of man is a cause of danger: but whoever puts his faith in the Lord will have a safe place on high.

²⁵ And so, putting away false words, let everyone say what is true to his neighbour: for we are parts one of another.
