PROVERBS 10:13-17

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 a present destruction.

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

¹⁶The labour of the righteous tendeth to life; the increase of the wicked to sin.

¹⁷He is in the way of life that heedeth correction: but he that forsaketh reproof erreth.
