Proverbs 10 gives us the results of choosing Wisdom, but all the consequences for choosing Folly.

When we refuse God's Word and go the foolish path we will:

Be a source of grief to our parents. v1
Not profit from our "ill-gotten gains" v2
be continually craving.. and never satisfied v3
be negligent in our work v4
be lazy and shameful v5
speak falsely, hiding the wickedness in our hearts v6
have a rotten reputation v7
babble like a fool and fail v8
be perverted and exposed v9
wink at trouble, but be "thrown down" v10
speak falsely ( repeated from v6)
stir up strife and hatred v12
lack understanding and invite punishment v13
run into ruin v14
receive punishment v16
go astray v17
lie and deceive v18
spread slander v18
speak without thinking v19
have a wicked heart "worth little" v20
"die for lack of understanding" v21
do wickedness for fun v23
receive what we are most afraid of v24
be caught up in the whirlwinds of life v25
be irritating to those around us v26
have a shortened life v27
have no hope v28
find ruin in their way v29
never live in the land of blessing v30
lose the tongue due to its perversion v31

The psalmist wrote, " The Lord keeps all who love Him; but all the wicked He will destroy." ( Psalm 145:20)  Solomon reinforces this truth with these proverbs.  We don't always see the results in this life, but we see enough of it to know that it is true!   The saddest verse to me is verse 20b "The heart of the wicked is worth little".   I think of some, whom I love and pray for, who refuse the way of the Lord... and it breaks my heart to see them going the way of "ruin".  They will never see the Lord's blessing or know hope that is  full of gladness and soundness.  And so I pray:

Father in heaven, gracious and merciful, full of compassion, slow to anger, and great in lovingkindness, I ask that You would open the eyes of the blind and grant them understanding of Your Word.  You know the desires of my heart, for the salvation of all of my loved ones.  I bring them before You once again and ask that You will grant them repentance  and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ that they might find forgiveness and receive life.  O Father, hear this cry, in the Name of Jesus I pray, amen.
