Proverbs 10:21

Proverbs Concerning The Mouth

²⁰ The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver: The heart of the wicked is little worth. ²¹ The lips of the righteous feed many; But the foolish die for lack of understanding. ²² The blessing of Jehovah, it maketh rich; And he addeth no sorrow therewith.
