The Wise and the Foolish ...Blessings vs. cursings (Proverbs 10:6). “Blessings are upon the head of the righteous.” Either God rewards the righteous person with blessings, or others bestow their blessings upon him because of his righteousness.

The Wise and the Foolish Excerpt These statements contrast the wise and the fool. While  the  discerning  person is characterized by his wise statements, one lacking  judgment  (cf. v.  21 ;  6:32 ;  7:7 ;  9:4 ,  16 ; 11:12 ;  12:11 ;  15:21 ;  17:18 ;  24:30 ;  28:16 ) experiences trouble.
