## Proverbs 10:18-21 in Context (Verses 15–24 KJV)
 
 [15 ](/kjv/proverbs/10/15) The rich man’s wealth *is* his strong city: the destruction of the poor *is* their poverty.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/proverbs/10/16) The labour of the righteous *tendeth* to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/proverbs/10/17) He *is in* the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.*
 
 [18 ](/kjv/proverbs/10/18) He that hideth hatred *with* lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, *is* a fool.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/proverbs/10/19) In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips *is* wise.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/proverbs/10/20) The tongue of the just *is as* choice silver: the heart of the wicked *is* little worth.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/proverbs/10/21) The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom.*
 
 [22 ](/kjv/proverbs/10/22) The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/proverbs/10/23) *It is* as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/proverbs/10/24) The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.
 
[Proverbs 9](/kjv/proverbs/9) [Proverbs 11](/kjv/proverbs/11)
