Proverbs 10:10-27
-
10 He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall.
-
11 The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
-
12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.
-
13 In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.
-
14 Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.
-
15 The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.
-
16 The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.
-
17 He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.
-
18 He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.
-
19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.
-
20 The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth.
-
21 The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom.
-
22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
-
23 It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.
-
24 The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.
-
25 As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.
-
26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him.
-
27 The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
