Proverbs 10:20-22
Contemporary English Version

20 The words of a good person
    are like pure silver,
but the thoughts
of an evil person
    are almost worthless.
21 Many are helped
    by useful instruction,
but fools are killed
    by their own stupidity.

22 When the Lord blesses you
with riches,
    you have nothing to regret.[a]
