Proverbs 10:21-23
The Voice

21 The right-living teach many,
    but fools die with no clue how to live well.

Perhaps the ancients knew the power of words better than we do. Words can conceal, reveal, destroy, and encourage. Words are extremely powerful, so Wisdom urges us to use a few carefully chosen words and to pick our conversations equally well.

22 The blessing of the Eternal is what makes someone rich,
    and He doesn’t add pain to it.
23 Mischief is the sport of fools,
    but wise actions bring joy to a person with insight.
