Proverbs 10:8-23 - Proverbs Concerning The Mouth
8 The wise of heart will receive commands: and the foolish of lips shall fall.
9 He going in integrity shall go confidently: and he perverting his ways shall be known.
10 He pinching the eye shall give pain: and the foolish of lips shall fall.
11 A fountain of life the mouth of the just one: and violence shall cover the mouth of the unjust
12 Hatred will excite strifes: and love will cover over all transgressions.
13 In the lips of him understanding, wisdom shall be found: and a rod for the back of him wanting heart
14 The wise shall hide knowledge: and the mouth of the foolish drew near destruction.
15 The wealth of the rich his strong city: the destruction of the poor their poverty.
16 The labors of the just one, to life: the increase of the unjust to sin.
17 The path to life is watching instruction: and he forsaking reproof goes astray.
18 He covering hatred with lips of falsehood, and he bringing forth slander, is foolish.
19 In the multitude of words transgression shall not cease: and he withholding his lips is prudent
20 The tongue of the just is choice silver: the heart of the unjust is as little.
21 The lips of the just one shall feed many: and fools in wanting heart, shall die.
22 The blessing of Jehovah it will make rich, and it will not add pain with it
23 As laughter to the foolish one, to do mischief: and wisdom is to the man of understanding.
