The words of the godly encourage many,
but fools are destroyed by their lack of common sense.
The blessing of the Lord makes a person rich,
and he adds no sorrow with it.
Doing wrong is fun for a fool,
but living wisely brings pleasure to the sensible.
The fears of the wicked will be fulfilled;
the hopes of the godly will be granted.
When the storms of life come, the wicked are whirled away,
but the godly have a lasting foundation.
-Proverbs 10:20-25 NLT
