Proverbs 10:23

Compare all

21 The lips of the righteous feed many,
But fools die for lack of¹ wisdom.

22 ^aThe blessing of the Lord makes one rich,
And He adds no sorrow with it.

23 ^aTo do evil is like sport to a fool,
But a man of understanding has wisdom.

24 ^aThe fear of the wicked will come upon him,
And ^bthe desire of the righteous will be granted.

25 When the whirlwind passes by, ^athe wicked is no more,
But ^bthe righteous has an everlasting foundation.

26 As vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes,
So is the lazy man to those who send him.

27 ^aThe fear of the Lord prolongs days,
But ^bthe years of the wicked will be shortened.
