Context of Proverbs 10:30
28The hope of the righteous is joy, but the expectation of the wicked will perish. 29The way of the Lord is a stronghold for the honorable, but destruction awaits evildoers. The righteous will never be shaken, but the wicked will not remain on the earth. 31The mouth of the righteous produces wisdom, but a perverse tongue will be cut out. 32The lips of the righteous know what is appropriate, but the mouth of the wicked, only what is perverse.
