Proverbs 10:13-17

On the lips of the discerning, wisdom is found, But a rod is for the back of him who has no sense.

Wise people store up knowledge, But with the mouth of the foolish, ruin is at hand.

The rich person’s wealth is his fortress, The ruin of the poor is their poverty.

The wages of the righteous is life, The income of the wicked, punishment.

One who is on the path of life follows instruction, But one who ignores a rebuke goes astray.
