Proverbs 10:18-25

¹⁸Righteous lips cover enmity; but they that utter railings are most foolish.

¹⁹By a multitude of words thou shalt not escape sin; but if thou refrain thy lips thou wilt be prudent.

²⁰The tongue of the just is tried silver; but the heart of the ungodly shall fail.

²¹The lips of the righteous know sublime truths: but the foolish die in want.

²²The blessing of the Lord is upon the head of the righteous; it enriches him, and grief of heart shall not be added to it.

²³A fool does mischief in sport; but wisdom brings forth prudence for a man.

²⁴The ungodly is engulphed in destruction; but the desire of the righteous is acceptable.

²⁵When the storm passes by, the ungodly vanishes away; but the righteous turns aside and escapes for ever.
