Proverbs 10:16-18
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
16 The labor of the just leads to life,
the gains of the wicked, to futility.[a](A)
17 Whoever follows instruction is in the path to life,
but whoever disregards reproof goes astray.(B)
18 Whoever conceals hatred has lying lips,
and whoever spreads slander is a fool.
