Proverbs 13:13-15
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

13 Whosoever speaketh ill of any thing, bindeth himself for the time to come: but he that feareth the commandment, shall dwell in peace. Deceitful souls go astray in sins: the just are merciful, and shew mercy.

14 The law of the wise is a fountain of life, that he may decline from the ruin of death.

15 Good instruction shall give grace: in the way of scorners is a deep pit.
