Proverbs 10:6-17

⁶Gifts from God are upon the head of the righteous person, but the mouth of the wicked covers up violence.

⁷The righteous person makes those who remember him happy, but the name of the wicked will rot away.

⁸Those who are sensible accept commands, but a talkative fool will come to ruin.

⁹He who walks in integrity walks in safety, but the one who makes his ways crooked, he will be found out.

¹⁰He who winks the eye causes grief, but a talkative fool will be thrown down.

¹¹The mouth of the righteous person is a water spring of life, but the mouth of the wicked covers up violence.

¹²Hatred stirs up conflicts, but love covers over all offenses.

¹³Wisdom is found on the lips of a discerning person, but a rod is for the back of the one who has no sense.

¹⁴Wise men store up knowledge, but the mouth of a fool brings destruction near.

¹⁵The wealth of a rich man is his fortified city; the poverty of the poor is their destruction.

¹⁶The wage of the righteous person leads to life; the profit of the wicked leads them to sin.

¹⁷There is a path to life for the one who follows discipline, but the one who rejects correction is led astray.
