Proverbs 10:22-24

The Voice

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.

²²The blessing of the Eternal is what makes someone rich,
    and He doesn’t add pain to it.
²³Mischief is the sport of fools,
    but wise actions bring joy to a person with insight.
²⁴Whatever wrongdoers fear the most will happen to them,
    but those who do right will receive what they long for.
