New Testament

Proverbs 10:15-24 The Message (MSG)

15. The wealth of the rich is their bastion;the poverty of the indigent is their ruin.

16. The wage of a good person is exuberant life;an evil person ends up with nothing but sin.

17. The road to life is a disciplined life;ignore correction and you’re lost for good.

18. Liars secretly hoard hatred;fools openly spread slander.

19. The more talk, the less truth;the wise measure their words.

20. The speech of a good person is worth waiting for;the blabber of the wicked is worthless.

21. The talk of a good person is rich fare for many,but chatterboxes die of an empty heart.

22. God’s blessing makes life rich;nothing we do can improve on God.

23. An empty-head thinks mischief is fun,but a mindful person relishes wisdom.

24. The nightmares of the wicked come true;what the good people desire, they get.
