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 labour of the righteous tendeth to life; the increase of the wicked to sin.
