Proverbs 10:9

Integrity

7 The memory of the righteous is a blessing, but the name of the wicked will rot.

8 A wise heart will receive commandments, but foolish lips will come to ruin.

He who walks in integrity walks securely, but he who perverts his ways will be found out.

10 He who winks the eye causes grief, and foolish lips will come to ruin.

11 The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
