Proverbs 10:15-17

Modern English Version

¹⁵ The rich man’s wealth is his strong city;
    the destruction of the poor is their poverty.

¹⁶ The labor of the righteous tends to life,
    the fruit of the wicked to sin.

¹⁷ He who keeps instruction is in the way of life,
    but he who refuses reproof errs.
