Proverbs 10:21

Proverbs Concerning The Mouth

²⁰ An innocent tongue is a noble treasure; but the heart of the ungodly is nothing worth. ²¹ The lips of the righteous feed a whole multitude; but fools shall die in their own folly. ²² The blessing of the LORD, maketh rich men; as for careful travail, it doth nothing thereto.
