Proverbs 10:11-20 NIRV

Proverbs 10:11-20

The mouths of those who do right pour out life like a fountain.

But the mouths of sinners hide their evil plans.

Hate stirs up fights.

But love erases all sins by forgiving them.

Wisdom is found on the lips of those who understand what is right.

But those who have no sense are punished.

Wise people store up knowledge.

But the mouths of foolish people destroy them.

The wealth of rich people is like a city that makes them feel safe.

But having nothing destroys those who are poor.

People who do what is right earn life.

But sinners earn sin and death.

Anyone who pays attention to correction

shows the path to life.

But anyone who refuses to be corrected

leads others down the wrong path.

Anyone who hides hatred with lying lips

and spreads lies is foolish.

Sin is not ended by using many words.

But those who are wise control their tongues.

The tongues of those who do right are like fine silver.

But the hearts of those who do wrong aren’t worth very much.
