Context of Proverbs 22:10

8He who sows injustice will reap [a harvest of] trouble, And the rod of his wrath [with which he oppresses others] will fail. 9He who is generous will be blessed, For he gives some of his food to the poor. Drive out the scoffer, and contention will go away; Even strife and dishonor will cease. 11He who loves purity of heart And whose speech is gracious will have the king as his friend. 12The eyes of the Lord keep guard over knowledge and the one who has it, But He overthrows the words of the treacherous.
