Proverbs 10:13-18

¹³Wisdom is found on the lips of a discerning person, but a rod is for the back of the one who has no sense.

¹⁴Wise men store up knowledge, but the mouth of a fool brings destruction near.

¹⁵The wealth of a rich man is his fortified city; the poverty of the poor is their destruction.

¹⁶The wage of the righteous person leads to life; the profit of the wicked leads them to sin.

¹⁷There is a path to life for the one who follows discipline, but the one who rejects correction is led astray.

¹⁸Whoever conceals hatred has lying lips, and whoever spreads slander is a fool.
