Proverbs 10:14


Proverbs 10:13 Proverbs 10:14 (KJV) Proverbs 10:15
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.
