Proverbs 10:21-1964 ·Bible in Basic English

“The lips of the upright man give food to men, but the foolish come to death for need of sense. The blessing of the Lord gives wealth: hard work makes it no greater. It is sport to the foolish man to do evil, but the man of good sense takes delight in wisdom. The thing feared by the evil-doer will come to him, but the upright man will get his desire. When the storm-wind is past, the sinner is seen no longer, but the upright man is safe for ever. Like acid drink to the teeth and as smoke to the eyes, so is the hater of work to those who send him. The fear of the Lord gives long life, but the years of the evil-doer will be cut short. The hope of the upright man will give joy, but the waiting of the evil-doer will have its end in sorrow. The way of the Lord is a strong tower for the upright man, but destruction to the workers of evil. The upright man will never be moved, but evil-doers will not have a safe resting-place in the land. The mouth of the upright man is budding with wisdom, but the twisted tongue will be cut off. The lips of the upright man have knowledge of what is pleasing, but twisted are the mouths of evil-doers.”
