Context of Proverbs 22:10

8If you plant evil things, your harvest will be trouble. If you are angry and you hurt people, it will never help you. 9If you are kind to poor people and you share your food with them, God will bless you. If someone laughs at what is right, send him away. Then there will be no more arguments, quarrels and insults. 11If you live in a pure way, and you speak kind words, you will have the king as your friend. 12The Lord watches over truth, to keep it safe. But when people tell lies, he makes them useless.
