Proverbs 10:13-15

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹³In the lips of the wise is wisdom found: and a rod on the back of him that wanteth sense.

¹⁴Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the fool is next to confusion.

¹⁵The substance of a rich man is the city of his strength: the fear of the poor is their poverty.
