Context of Proverbs 10:22
20The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver, The heart of the wicked is worth little. 21The lips of the righteous feed many, But fools die for lack of understanding. It is the blessing of the Lord that makes rich, And He adds no sorrow to it. 23Doing wickedness is like sport to a fool, And so is wisdom to a man of understanding. 24What the wicked fears will come upon him, But the desire of the righteous will be granted.
