Proverbs 10:15-17

New Life Version

¹⁵ The riches of a rich man are his strength, but the need of the poor is what destroys them.

¹⁶ The pay earned by those who are right with God is life, but the sinful are paid by being punished.

¹⁷ He who listens to teaching is on the path of life, but he who will not listen to strong words goes the wrong way.
