Proverbs 10:16-18

New International Reader's Version

¹⁶People who do what is right earn life.
But sinners earn sin and death.

¹⁷Anyone who pays attention to correction
shows the path to life.
But anyone who refuses to be corrected
leads others down the wrong path.

¹⁸Anyone who hides hatred with lying lips
and spreads lies is foolish.
