Proverbs 10:15 — Meaning and Application

In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod {is} for the back of him that is void of understanding. {of understanding: Heb. of heart}

Wise {men} lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish {is} near destruction.

The rich man's wealth {is} his strong city: the destruction of the poor {is} their poverty.

The labour of the righteous {tendeth} to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.

He {is in} the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth. {erreth: or, causeth to err}
