Proverbs 10:15


Proverbs 10:14 Proverbs 10:15 (KJV) Proverbs 10:16
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.
