Proverbs 10:7-9

Amplified Bible

⁷ 
The ^[a]memory of the righteous [person] is a [source of] blessing,
But the name of the wicked will [be forgotten and] rot [like a corpse].^(A)
8 
The wise in heart [are willing to learn so they] will accept and obey commands (instruction),
But the babbling fool [who is arrogant and thinks himself wise] will come to ruin.
⁹ 
He who walks in integrity and with moral character walks securely,
But he who takes a crooked way will be discovered and punished.
