Context of Proverbs 22:10

8The one who sows iniquity will reap trouble, and the rod of his fury will end. 9A generous person will be blessed, for he gives some of his food to the poor. Drive out the scorner and contention will leave; strife and insults will cease. 11The one who loves a pure heart and whose speech is gracious – the king will be his friend. 12The eyes of the Lord guard knowledge, but he overthrows the words of the faithless person.
