Proverbs 10:13-16

¹³In the lips of him that hath discernment wisdom is found; but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.

¹⁴Wise men lay up knowledge; but the mouth of the foolish is an imminent ruin.

¹⁵The rich man's wealth is his strong city; the ruin of the poor is their poverty.

¹⁶The wages of the righteous is life; the increase of the wicked is sin.
