A Wise Son Maketh a Glad Father — Proverbs 10:16–23
PROV 10:16
The labor of the righteous tendeth to life; The increase of the wicked, to sin.
PROV 10:17
He is in the way of life that heedeth correction; But he that forsaketh reproof erreth.
PROV 10:18
He that hideth hatred is of lying lips; And he that uttereth a slander is a fool.
PROV 10:19
In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression; But he that refraineth his lips doeth wisely.
PROV 10:20
The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver: The heart of the wicked is little worth.
PROV 10:21
The lips of the righteous feed many; But the foolish die for lack of understanding.
PROV 10:22
The blessing of Jehovah, it maketh rich; And he addeth no sorrow therewith.
PROV 10:23
It is as sport to a fool to do wickedness; And so is wisdom to a man of understanding.
