Proverbs 10:13-15

21st Century King James Version

¹³ On the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found, but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.

¹⁴ Wise men lay up knowledge, but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.

¹⁵ The rich man’s wealth is his strong city; the destruction of the poor is their poverty.
