Proverbs 10:14-16

English Standard Version

¹⁴ The wise ^(A)lay up knowledge,
    but ^(B)the mouth of a fool brings ruin near.
^15 (C)A rich man's wealth is his strong city;
    the poverty of the poor is their ruin.
¹⁶ The wage of the righteous leads ^(D)to life,
    the gain of the wicked to sin.
