Proverbs 10:12-18

King James Version

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.

¹⁵ The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.

¹⁶ The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.

¹⁷ He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.

¹⁸ He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.
