Proverbs 10:19-32 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

19. If you talk a lot, you are sure to sin.If you are wise, you will keep quiet.

20. The words of a good person are like pure silver.But an evil person’s thoughts are worth little.

21. A good person’s words will help many others.But a foolish person dies because he doesn’t have wisdom.

22. The Lord’s blessing brings wealth.And with it comes no sorrow.

23. A foolish person enjoys doing wrong.But a person with understanding enjoys doing what is wise.

24. An evil person will get what he fears most.But a good person will receive what he wants most.

25. A storm will blow the evil person away.But a good person will always be safe.

26. A lazy person brings trouble to the one he works for.He bothers others like vinegar on the teeth or smoke in the eyes.

27. Whoever respects the Lord will have a long life.But an evil person will have his life cut short.

28. A good person can look forward to happiness.But an evil person can expect nothing.

29. The Lord will protect good people.But he will ruin those who do evil.
