Proverbs 10:23 Context
21The lippes of the righteous feed many: but fooles die for want of wisedome. 22The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and hee addeth no sorrow with it. 23It is as a sport to a foole to doe mischiefe: but a man of vnderstanding hath wisedome. 24The feare of the wicked, it shall come vpon him: but the desire of the righteous shalbe granted. 25As the whirlewinde passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an euerlasting foundation.
