Proverbs 10:16-18

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁶ The wage of the righteous leads to life,
    the gain of the wicked to sin.
¹⁷ Whoever heeds instruction is on the path to life,
    but one who rejects a rebuke goes astray.
¹⁸ Lying lips conceal hatred,
    and whoever utters slander is a fool.
