sleepeth in harvest [is] a son that causeth shame.

[is] near destruction.

10:18 He that hideth hatred [with] lying lips, and he that
uttereth a slander, [is] a fool.
10:19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he
that restraineth his lips [is] wise.

the wicked [is] little worth.

want of wisdom.
