An evildoer gives heed to wicked lips. A liar gives ear to a mischievous tongue.

A bribe is a precious stone in the eyes of him who has it; wherever it turns, it prospers.
9 Kii xadgudub qariyaa jacayl buu doondoonaa, Laakiinse kii xaal ku noqnoqdaa saaxiibbuu kala kaxeeyaa.

25 Wiilkii nacas ahu waa u murug aabbihiis, Waana u qadhaadh tii dashay.

26 Weliba ma wanaagsana in kii xaq ah la taqsiiro, Ama in kuwa sharafka leh qummanaantooda aawadeed wax loogu dhufto.
Also to punish a righteous man is not good, nor to smite nobles for uprightness.
27 Kii hadalkiisa yareeyaa, aqoon buu leeyahay, Oo kii qalbigiisu qabow yahayna waa nin garasho leh.
He who spares his words has knowledge, and he who is of a cool spirit is a man of understanding.

Even a fool, when he holds his peace, is considered wise. When he shuts his lips, he is prudent.
