Proverbs 10:7-18

1. 7 The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.

2. 8 The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall.

3. 9 He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.

4. 10 He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall.

5. 11 The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

6. 12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.

7. 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.

8. 14 Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.

9. 15 The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.

10. 16 The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.

11. 17 He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.

12. 18 He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.
