Proverbs 10:15-20

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.

¹⁹When there are many words, transgression is not lacking, but he who is careful in what he says is wise.

²⁰The tongue of the righteous person is pure silver; there is little value in the heart of the wicked.
