Proverbs 10:14-16

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁴ Wise men ^(A)store up knowledge,
But with ^(B)the mouth of the foolish, ruin is at hand.
¹⁵ The ^(C)rich man’s wealth is his ^[a]fortress,
The ^(D)ruin of the poor is their poverty.
¹⁶ The ^[b](E)wages of the righteous is life,
The income of the wicked, punishment.
