"...but the mouth of a fool is imminent ruin." - Proverbs 10:14

Proverbs
Chapter 10

1] The Proverbs of Solomon: A wise son makes his father glad, but a foolish son is a grief to his mother.
2] Ill-gotten treasures profit nothing, but virtue saves from death.
3] The LORD permits not the just to hunger, but the craving of the wicked he thwarts.
4] The slack hand impoverishes, but the hand of the diligent enriches.
5] A son who fills the granaries in summer is a credit; a son who slumbers during harvest, a disgrace.
6] Blessings are for the head of the just, but a rod for the back of the fool.
7] The memory of the just will be blessed, but the name of the wicked will rot.
8] A wise man heeds commands, but a prating fool will be overthrown.
9] He who walks honestly walks securely, but he whose ways are crooked will fare badly.
10] He who winks at a fault causes trouble, but he who frankly reproves promotes peace.
11] A fountain of life is the mouth of the just, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
12] Hatred stirs up disputes, but love covers all offenses.
13] On the lips of the intelligent is found wisdom, (but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence).
14] Wise men store up knowledge, but the mouth of a fool is imminent ruin.
15] The rich man's wealth is his strong city; the ruination of the lowly is their poverty.
16] The just man's recompense leads to life, the gains of the wicked, to sin.
17] A path to life is his who heeds admonition, but he who disregards reproof goes astray.
18] It is the lips of the liar that conceal hostility; but he who spreads accusations is a fool.
19] Where words are many, sin is not wanting; but he who restrains his lips does well.
20] Like choice silver is the just man's tongue; the heart of the wicked is of little worth.
21] The just man's lips nourish many, but fools die for want of sense.
22] It is the LORD'S blessing that brings wealth, and no effort can substitute for it.
23] Crime is the entertainment of the fool; so is wisdom for the man of sense.
24] What the wicked man fears will befall him, but the desire of the just will be granted.
25] When the tempest passes, the wicked man is no more; but the just man is established forever.
26] As vinegar to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes, is the sluggard to those who use him as a messenger.
27] The fear of the LORD prolongs life, but the years of the wicked are brief.
28] The hope of the just brings them joy, but the expectation of the wicked comes to nought.
29] The LORD is a stronghold to him who walks honestly, but to evildoers, their downfall.
30] The just man will never be disturbed, but the wicked will not abide in the land.
31] The mouth of the just yields wisdom, but the perverse tongue will be cut off.
32] The lips of the just know how to please, but the mouth of the wicked, how to pervert.
