Proverbs 10:14

Proverbs Concerning The Mouth

¹³ On the lips of the discerning, wisdom is found,
But a rod is for the back of him who lacks understanding.
¹⁴ Wise men store up knowledge,
But with the mouth of the foolish, ruin is at hand.
¹⁵ The rich man’s wealth is his fortress,
The ruin of the poor is their poverty.
