Proverbs 10 Ends here
Proverbs 10:28 - 32
The hope of the righteous is gladness,
But the expectation of the wicked perishes.
The way of the LORD is a stronghold to the upright,
But ruin to the workers of iniquity.
The righteous will never be shaken,
But the wicked will not dwell in the land.
The mouth of the righteous flows with wisdom,
But the perverted tongue will be cut out.
The lips of the righteous bring forth what is acceptable,
But the mouth of the wicked what is perverted.
The first three seem to go together, walking the walk is rewarded; destruction to the wicked, workers injustice.
The last two focus on the tongue. Boy howdy did I do badly with my tongue this last week. And I never called and apologized either. I’d better get around to making amends.

I am the LAST person on earth to comment on a wicked tongue. I can’t count high enough to figure out how much trouble I have caused myself and others with the wrong word at the wrong time. No more wicked tongues, please, the Bingo Card Guilt I was born with can’t survive such introspection. Love you. Happy Valentines.
