Proverbs 10:14-16

Living Bible

¹⁴ A wise man holds his tongue. Only a fool blurts out everything he knows; that only leads to sorrow and trouble.

¹⁵ The rich man’s wealth is his only strength. The poor man’s poverty is his only^[a] curse.

¹⁶ The good man’s earnings advance the cause of righteousness. The evil man squanders his on sin.
