Proverbs 10:17-32

17Whoever heeds instruction is on the path to life,
but one who rejects a rebuke goes astray.
18Lying lips conceal hatred,
and whoever utters slander is a fool.
19When words are many, transgression is not lacking,
but the prudent are restrained in speech.
20The tongue of the righteous is choice silver;
the mind of the wicked is of little worth.
21The lips of the righteous feed many,
but fools die for lack of sense.
22The blessing of the Lord makes rich,
and he adds no sorrow with it.
23Doing wrong is like sport to a fool,
but wise conduct is pleasure to a person of understanding.
24What the wicked dread will come upon them,
but the desire of the righteous will be granted.
25When the tempest passes, the wicked are no more,
but the righteous are established forever.
26Like vinegar to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes,
so are the lazy to their employers.
27The fear of the Lord prolongs life,
but the years of the wicked will be short.
28The hope of the righteous ends in gladness,
but the expectation of the wicked comes to nothing.
29The way of the Lord is a stronghold for the upright,
but destruction for evildoers.
30The righteous will never be removed,
but the wicked will not remain in the land.
31The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom,
but the perverse tongue will be cut off.
32The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable,
but the mouth of the wicked what is perverse.
