Proverbs 10:17-32

10:17 He [is in] the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth. 10:18 He that hideth hatred [with] lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, [is] a fool. 10:19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips [is] wise. 10:20 The tongue of the just [is as] choice silver: the heart of the wicked [is] little worth. 10:21 The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom. 10:22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. 10:23 [It is] as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom. 10:24 The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted. 10:25 As the whirlwind passeth, so [is] the wicked no [more]: but the righteous [is] an everlasting foundation. 10:26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so [is] the sluggard to them that send him. 10:27 The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened. 10:28 The hope of the righteous [shall be] gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish. 10:29 The way of the LORD [is] strength to the upright: but destruction [shall be] to the workers of iniquity. 10:30 The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth. 10:31 The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut out. 10:32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked [speaketh] frowardness.
