Proverbs 10:14-16

Lexham English Bible

¹⁴ Those who are wise lay up knowledge,
    but to the mouth of the fool, ruin draws near.
¹⁵ The wealth of the rich is the city of his strength;
    the ruin of the poor is their poverty.
¹⁶ The wage of the righteous leads to life;
    the gain of the wicked to sin.
