Proverbs 10:15-20

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

¹⁶The labour of a righteous man tendeth to life; the revenue of a wicked man, to sin.

¹⁷Keeping instruction is the path to life; but he that forsaketh reproof goeth astray.

¹⁸He that covereth hatred hath lying lips, and he that sendeth forth a slander is a fool.

¹⁹In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression; but he that restraineth his lips doeth wisely.

²⁰The tongue of the righteous man is as choice silver; the heart of the wicked is little worth.
