ગુજરાતીનીતિવચનો ૧૭:૨૦
કુટિલ હૃદયના માણસનું કદી હિત થતું નથી; આડી જીભવાળો માણસ વિપત્તિમાં આવી પડે છે.
हिन्दीनीतिवचन १७:२०
जो मन का टेढ़ा है, उसका कल्याण नहीं होता, और उलट-फेर की बात करनेवाला विपत्ति में पड़ता है।

In context

18A man void of understanding strikes hands, and becomes collateral in the presence of his neighbor.

19He who loves disobedience loves strife. One who builds a high gate seeks destruction.

20One who has a perverse heart doesn’t find prosperity, and one who has a deceitful tongue falls into trouble.

21He who becomes the father of a fool grieves. The father of a fool has no joy.

22A cheerful heart makes good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
