Proverbs 10:14

Proverbs Concerning The Mouth

¹³ Wisdom is found on the lips of the discerning,
but a rod is for the back of the one who lacks sense. ¹⁴ The wise store up knowledge,
but the mouth of the fool hastens destruction. ¹⁵ A rich man’s wealth is his fortified city;
the poverty of the poor is their destruction.
