Proverbs 10:15-17

The Voice

¹⁵ The wealth of the rich is their powerful fortress;
    the poverty of the poor reduces them to rubble.
¹⁶ The reward of those who do right is a satisfied life,
    but the profits gained by those who do wrong is used to sin.
¹⁷ Those who accept instruction are travelers on the road to a meaningful life,
    but those who refuse correction wander off and pave a path to ruin.
