Proverbs 10:16-18

The Voice

¹⁶ The reward of those who do right is a satisfied life,
    but the profits gained by those who do wrong is used to sin.
¹⁷ Those who accept instruction are travelers on the road to a meaningful life,
    but those who refuse correction wander off and pave a path to ruin.
¹⁸ Lips that lie cover deep-seated hatred,
    and whoever spreads a libelous rumor is acting as a fool.
