Proverbs 10:21-23
New Catholic Bible

21 The lips of the righteous nourish many,
    but fools die for lack of sense.
22 The blessing of the Lord is what brings wealth,
    and our toil adds nothing to it.[a]
23 Doing wrong affords pleasure to the fool,
    but wisdom is a delight to an intelligent man.
