10:16 The wages of the righteous bring them life, but the income of the wicked brings them punishment.
10:17 He who heeds discipline shows the way to life, but whoever ignores correction leads others astray.
10:18 He who conceals his hatred has lying lips, and whoever spreads slander is a fool.
10:19 When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise.
10:20 The tongue of the righteous is choice silver, but the heart of the wicked is of little value.
10:21 The lips of the righteous nourish many, but fools die for lack of judgment.
10:22 The blessing of the Lord brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it.
10:23 A fool finds pleasure in evil conduct, but a man of understanding delights in wisdom.
10:24 What the wicked dreads will overtake him; what the righteous desire will be granted.
10:25 When the storm has swept by, the wicked are gone, but the righteous stand firm forever.
10:26 As vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes, so is a sluggard to those who send him.
10:27 The fear of the Lord adds length to life, but the years of the wicked are cut short.
10:28 The prospect of the righteous is joy, but the hopes of the wicked come to nothing.
10:29 The way of the Lord is a refuge for the righteous, but it is the ruin of those who do evil.
