Proverbs 10:6-13

International Children’s Bible

⁶ People who do what is right will have rich blessings.
    But the wicked will be overwhelmed by violence.

⁷ Good people will be remembered as a blessing.
    But evil people will soon be forgotten.

⁸ A wise person does what he is told.
    But a talkative fool will be ruined.

⁹ The honest person will live safely.
    But the one who is dishonest will be caught.

¹⁰ A wink may get you into trouble.
    And foolish talk will lead to your ruin.

¹¹ Like a fountain of water, the words of a good person give life.
    But the words of the wicked contain nothing but violence.

¹² Hatred stirs up trouble.
    But love forgives all wrongs.

¹³ You can expect wise people to speak with understanding.
    But people without wisdom can expect to be punished.
