Proverbs 10:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷The names of those who do right are used in blessings.
But the names of those who do wrong will rot.

⁸A wise heart accepts commands.
But foolish chattering destroys you.

⁹Anyone who lives without blame walks safely.
But anyone who takes a crooked path will get caught.
