Proverbs Chapter 10 21-32

The lips of the righteous feed many,
but fools die from lack of judgement.
The blessing of the LORD brings wealth,
and he adds no sorrow with it.
It is as a sport to a fool to do mischief,
but a man of understanding has wisdom.
What the wicked fear shall come upon him,
but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.
As the whirlwind passes, so the wicked are no more,
but the righteous stand firm forever.
As vinegar to the teeth, as smoke to the eyes,
so is the sluggard to those that send him.
The fear of the LORD adds length to life,
but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
The hope of the righteous shall be gladness,
but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.
The way of the LORD is strength to the upright,
but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
The righteous shall never be removed,
but the wicked will not remain in the land.
The mouth of the just brings forth wisdom,
but a perverse tongue shall be cut out.
The lips of the righteous know what is fitting,
but the mouth of the wicked speaks what is perverse.
