13 In 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.
16 The labor of the righteous [tendeth] to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.
17 He [is in] the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.
