Proverbs 10:17

Compare all

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.

17 He who keeps instruction is in the way of life,
But he who refuses correction¹ goes astray.

18 Whoever ^ahides hatred has lying lips,
And ^bwhoever spreads slander is a fool.

19 ^aIn the multitude of words sin is not lacking,
But ^bhe who restrains his lips is wise.
