Proverbs 10:14-16

Common English Bible

¹⁴ The wise store up knowledge,
    but the mouth of a fool brings on ruin.
¹⁵ The riches of the wealthy are their strong city;
    the ruin of the poor is their poverty.
¹⁶ The wages of the righteous lead to life;
    the earnings of the wicked lead to sin.
