GRAGAGAYJAH 1576 Proverbs 10: Verses 11-21 Wisdom and the Fear of God Contrasted with Folly and Sin The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life; but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. Hatred stirreth up strife; but love covereth all sins. In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found; but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding. Wise men lay up knowledge; but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction. The rich man’s wealth is his strong city; the destruction of the poor is their poverty. The Labour of the righteous tendeth to life; the fruit of the wicked to sin. He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction; but he that refuseth reproof erreth. He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool. In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin; but he that refraineth his lips is wise. The tongue of the just is as choice silver; the heart of the wicked is little worth. The lips of the righteous heed many; but fools die for want of wisdom.
