Proverbs 10:30

The Righteous and the Wicked: Wisdom in Speech, Work, Wealth, and Life

The chapter moves as a concentrated collection rather than a single linear argument. Its repeated contrasts form a moral portrait of the righteous and the wicked, with major clusters around family, work, wealth, speech, discipline, desire, fear, and destiny.
