Proverbs 10:7-15

⁷The memory of the righteous shall be for a blessing; but the name of the wicked shall rot.

⁸The wise in heart will receive commandments; but a prating fool shall fall.

⁹He that walketh uprightly walketh securely; but he that perverteth his ways shall be found out.

¹⁰He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow; and a prating fool shall fall.

¹¹The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life; but the mouth of the wicked concealeth violence.

¹²Hatred stirreth up strifes; but love covereth all transgressions.

¹³In the lips of him that hath discernment wisdom is found; but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.

¹⁴Wise men lay up knowledge; but the mouth of the foolish is an imminent ruin.

¹⁵The rich man's wealth is his strong city; the ruin of the poor is their poverty.
