Wealth, Diligence, and Lasting Security
Proverbs 10:15-21
15
The wealth of the rich is his fortified city; the ruin of the poor is their poverty.
16
The activity of the righteous is for life; the income of the wicked is for sin.
17
He who observes discipline is on the way to life; but he who ignores correction is making a mistake.
18
He who covers up hate has lips that lie, and anyone who slanders is a fool.
19
When words are many, sin is not lacking; so he who controls his speech is wise.
20
The tongue of the righteous is like pure silver, but the mind of the wicked is worth little.
21
The lips of the righteous feed many, but fools die for lack of sense.
