Proverbs 10

The individual proverbs start here: mostly two-line contrasts between the righteous and the wicked, the diligent and the lazy, and wise and foolish speech. Speech dominates: the righteous mouth is "a fountain of life," and many words make sin likely. Love covers transgressions (quoted in 1 Peter 4:8 and James 5:20). Proverbs are general patterns, not promises for every case. Job and Ecclesiastes exist to keep that honest.

"The blessing of the LORD enriches, and He adds no sorrow to it." (Proverbs 10:22)

"Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers all transgressions." (Proverbs 10:12)

Versions/Hebrew: "sorrow" in 10:22 is etsev [6089], painful toil, the same word as the curse's pain in Genesis 3:16 and the "bread of toil" in Psalm 127:2 (verified in OSHB).
