Proverbs 10:20-29

²⁰Chosen silver is the tongue of a just or rightwise man; the heart of wicked men is for nought.

²¹The lips of a just or rightwise man teach full many men; but they that be unlearned shall die in neediness of heart.

²²The blessing of the Lord maketh rich men; and torment shall not be fellowshipped to them.

²³A fool worketh wickedness as by laughing; but wisdom is prudence to a man or but prudence is to a wise man.

²⁴That that a wicked man dreadeth, shall come up on him; the desire of just or rightwise men shall be given to them.

²⁵As a tempest passing, a wicked man shall not be; but a just or rightwise man shall be as an ever-lasting foundament.

²⁶As vinegar annoyeth the teeth, and smoke the eyes; so a slow man annoyeth them that sent him in the way.

²⁷The dread of the Lord increaseth days; and the years of wicked men shall be made short.

²⁸Abiding of just or rightwise men is gladness; but the hope of wicked men shall perish.

²⁹The strength of a simple man is the way of the Lord; and dread to them that work evil.
