Proverbs 11:18-20

New Catholic Bible

¹⁸ The labors of the wicked man produce little profit,
    but the one who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward.
¹⁹ Whoever is steadfast in righteousness finds life,
    but the one who pursues evil is on the road to death.
²⁰ Those with perverse hearts are abhorrent to the Lord,
    but those whose ways are blameless are dear to him.
