Proverbs 10:14

12 Hatred stirs up strife,
But ^alove covers all sins.

13 Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has understanding,
But ^aa rod is for the back of him who¹ is devoid of understanding.

14 Wise people store up knowledge,
But ^athe mouth of the foolish is near destruction.

15 The ^arich man’s wealth is his strong city;
The destruction of the poor is their poverty.

16 The labor of the righteous leads to ^alife,
The wages of the wicked to sin.

Proverbs 10:14

Wise men lay up knowledge - They keep secret every thing that has a tendency to disturb domestic or public peace; but the foolish man blabs all out, and produces much mischief. Think much, speak little, and always think before you speak. This will promote your own peace and that of your neighbor.
