Proverbs 10:14-16

Amplified Bible

¹⁴ 
Wise men store up and treasure knowledge [in mind and heart],
But with the mouth of the foolish, ruin is at hand.
¹⁵ 
The rich man’s wealth is his fortress;
The ruin of the poor is their poverty.^(A)
16 
The wages of the righteous [the upright, those in right standing with God] is [a worthwhile, meaningful] life,
The income of the wicked, punishment.^(B)
