Context of Proverbs 10:22
20The tongue of the righteous isaschoice silver: The heart of the wicked is little worth. 21The lips of the righteous feed many; But the foolish die for lack of understanding. The blessing of Jehovah, it maketh rich; And he addeth no sorrow therewith. 23It is as sport to a fool to do wickedness; Andso iswisdom to a man of understanding. 24The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him; And the desire of the righteous shall be granted.
