Proverbs 10:21

Proverbs Concerning The Mouth

²⁰ The tongue of the righteous man is as choice silver; the heart of the wicked is little worth. ²¹ The lips of a righteous man feed many; but fools die for want of understanding. ²² The blessing of Jehovah, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow to it.
