Proverbs 10:13-15
Living Bible

13 Men with common sense are admired[a] as counselors; those without it are beaten as servants.

14 A wise man holds his tongue. Only a fool blurts out everything he knows; that only leads to sorrow and trouble.

15 The rich man’s wealth is his only strength. The poor man’s poverty is his only[b] curse.
