Proverbs 10:15-17

Lexham English Bible

¹⁵ The wealth of the rich is the city of his strength;
    the ruin of the poor is their poverty.
¹⁶ The wage of the righteous leads to life;
    the gain of the wicked to sin.
¹⁷ On the path to life is he who guards instruction,
    but he who rejects rebuke goes astray.
