Proverbs 10:19-28

¹⁹When people talk a lot, that will lead them to sin a lot by what they say; if you are wise, you will refuse to say very much.

²⁰What righteous/good people say MTY is as valuable as pure silver MET; what wicked people think is worthless.

²¹What righteous people say MTY benefits many people, but foolish people die because of the stupid things that they do.

²²Yahweh blesses some people by enabling them to become rich, and working hard will not make them to become richer (OR, and he will not also cause them to become sad).

²³Foolish people ◄have fun/enjoy► doing what is wrong, but wise/sensible people enjoy doing what is wise.

²⁴Righteous people will get the good things that they want/desire, but what wicked people are afraid of is what will happen to them.

²⁵When storms come, the wicked will ◄be blown away/never be safe►, but righteous people will be safe forever.

²⁶We do not like a lazy person who refuses to do the job that he is given to do, just like we do not like vinegar in our mouths or smoke in our eyes.

²⁷If you revere Yahweh, you will live for a long time; but wicked people die before they become old.

²⁸Righteous people confidently expect that good things will happen to them, and that causes them to be happy/joyful; but when wicked people confidently expect something good to happen, it does not happen.
