Proverbs 10:16 In-Context

14 Those who are wise lay up knowledge, but [to] the mouth of the fool, ruin draws near.
15 The wealth of the rich [is] the city of his strength; the ruin of the poor [is] their poverty.
16 The wage of the righteous [leads] to life; the gain of the wicked to sin.
17 [On] the path to life is he who guards instruction, but he who rejects rebuke goes astray.
18 He who conceals hatred [has] lips of deceit, and he who utters slander--he is a fool.
