Proverbs 10:17-19
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
17 Whoever follows instruction is in the path to life,
but whoever disregards reproof goes astray.(A)
18 Whoever conceals hatred has lying lips,
and whoever spreads slander is a fool.
19 Where words are many, sin is not wanting;
but those who restrain their lips do well.(B)
