Proverbs

¹⁰He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow; But a prating fool shall fall. ¹¹The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life; But violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. ¹²Hatred stirreth up strifes; But love covereth all transgressions. ¹³In the lips of him that hath discernment wisdom is found; But a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding. ¹⁴Wise men lay up knowledge; But the mouth of the foolish is a present destruction. ¹⁵The rich man’s wealth is his strong city: The destruction of the poor is their poverty. ¹⁶The labor of the righteous tendeth to life; The increase of the wicked, to sin.
