Proverbs 10:16
King James VersionSource notes
“The labour of the righteous to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.”
Context
13In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod for the back of him that is void of understanding.
14Wise lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish near destruction.
15The rich man’s wealth his strong city: the destruction of the poor their poverty.
16The labour of the righteous to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.
17He the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.
18He that hideth hatred lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, a fool.
19In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips wise.
