Proverbs 10:7-9
Contemporary English Version

7 Good people are remembered
    long after they are gone,
but the wicked
    are soon forgotten.

8 If you have good sense,
    you will listen and obey;
if all you do is talk foolishly,
    you will destroy yourself.
9 You will be safe,
    if you always do right,
but you will get caught,
    if you are dishonest.
