Proverbs 10:16-18

Common English Bible

¹⁶ The wages of the righteous lead to life;
    the earnings of the wicked lead to sin.
¹⁷ Those who heed instruction are on the way to life,
    but those who ignore correction lose their way.
¹⁸ Lying lips conceal hate,
    and those who spread slander are fools.
