Proverbs 10:14-16
New King James Version
14 Wise people store up knowledge,
But (A)the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.
15 The (B)rich man’s wealth is his strong city;
The destruction of the poor is their poverty.
16 The labor of the righteous leads to (C)life,
The wages of the wicked to sin.
