Proverbs 10:20-29

²⁰The tongue of the just is as choice silver: but the heart of the wicked is nothing worth.

²¹The lips of the just teach many: but they that are ignorant, shall die in the want of understanding.

²²The blessing of the Lord maketh men rich: neither shall affliction be joined to them.

²³A fool worketh mischief as it were for sport: but wisdom is prudence to a man.

²⁴That which the wicked feareth, shall come upon him: to the just their desire shall be given.

²⁵As a tempest that passeth, so the wicked shall be no more: but the just is as an everlasting foundation.

²⁶As vinegar to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that sent him.

²⁷The fear of the Lord shall prolong days: and the years of the wicked shall be shortened.

²⁸The expectation of the just is joy; but the hope of the wicked shall perish.

²⁹The strength of the upright is the way of the Lord: and fear to them that work evil.
