Proverbs 10:16-18
Contemporary English Version

16 If you live right,
    the reward is a good life;
if you are evil,
    all you have is sin.

17 Accept correction,
    and you will find life;
reject correction,
    and you will miss the road.
18 You can hide your hatred
    by telling lies,
but you are a fool
    to spread lies.
