Proverbs 10:20

Compare all

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.

20 The tongue of the righteous is choice silver;
The heart of the wicked is worth little.

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.
