Wisdom and the Discipline of Speech
Proverbs 10:8-14
8
¶ The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall.
9
¶ He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.
10
¶ He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall.
11
¶ The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
12
¶ Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.
13
¶ In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.
14
¶ Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.
