Proverbs 10:6-13

New King James Version

⁶ Blessings are on the head of the righteous,
But violence covers the mouth of the wicked.
^7 (A)The memory of the righteous is blessed,
But the name of the wicked will rot.

⁸ The wise in heart will receive commands,
^(B)But ^[a]a prating fool will ^[b]fall.

^9 (C)He who walks with integrity walks securely,
But he who perverts his ways will become known.

¹⁰ He who winks with the eye causes trouble,
But a prating fool will fall.

¹¹ The mouth of the righteous is a well of life,
But violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

¹² Hatred stirs up strife,
But ^(D)love covers all sins.

¹³ Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has understanding,
But ^(E)a rod is for the back of him who ^[c]is devoid of understanding.
