Proverbs 10:10-17 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

10. A sly wink of the eye causes grief,and foolish lips will be destroyed.

11. The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.

12. Hatred stirs up conflicts,but love covers all offenses.

13. Wisdom is found on the lips of the discerning,but a rod is for the back of the one who lacks sense.

14. The wise store up knowledge,but the mouth of the fool hastens destruction.

15. A rich man’s wealth is his fortified city; the poverty of the poor is their destruction.

16. The labor of the righteous leads to life;the activity of the wicked leads to sin.

17. The one who follows instruction is on the path to life,but the one who rejects correction goes astray.
