Proverbs 10:21-32

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 engulfed 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 forever.

²⁶As a sour grape is hurtful to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes, So iniquity hurts those that practice it.

²⁷The fear of the Lord adds length of days: But the years of the ungodly shall be shortened.

²⁸Joy rests long with the righteous: But the hope of the ungodly shall perish.

²⁹The fear of the Lord is a stronghold of the saints: But ruin comes to them that work wickedness.

³⁰The righteous shall never fail: But the ungodly shall not dwell in the earth.

³¹The mouth of the righteous drops wisdom: But the tongue of the unjust shall perish.

³²The lips of just men drop grace: But the mouth of the ungodly is perverse.
