Proverbs 10:13-15

The Voice

¹³ Wisdom lives where insightful words are spoken,
    but harsh punishment awaits the senseless.
¹⁴ The wise store up knowledge as a safeguard,
    but the meaningless chatter of fools means that chaos is near.
¹⁵ The wealth of the rich is their powerful fortress;
    the poverty of the poor reduces them to rubble.
