Proverbs 10:14-16

New International Reader's Version

¹⁴Wise people store up knowledge.
But the mouths of foolish people destroy them.

¹⁵The wealth of rich people is like a city that makes them feel safe.
But having nothing destroys those who are poor.

¹⁶People who do what is right earn life.
But sinners earn sin and death.
