Proverbs 22:10-12

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁰ Drive out the scoffer, and contention will go out; yes, strife and abuse will cease.

¹¹ He who loves purity and the pure in heart and who is gracious in speech—because of the grace of his lips will he have the king for his friend.

¹² The eyes of the Lord keep guard over knowledge and him who has it, but He overthrows the words of the treacherous.
