10 He who winks with the eye causes trouble,But a prating fool will fall.
11 The mouth of the righteous is a well of life,But violence covers the mouth of the wicked.
12 Hatred stirs up strife,But love covers all sins.
13 Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has understanding,But a rod is for the back of him who is devoid of understanding.
14 Wise people store up knowledge,But the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.
15 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city;The destruction of the poor is their poverty.
16 The labor of the righteous leads to life,The wages of the wicked to sin.
