Proverbs 10:16-20

¹⁶The labor of the righteous tendeth to life; The increase of the wicked, to sin.

¹⁷He is in the way of life that heedeth correction; But he that forsaketh reproof erreth.

¹⁸He that hideth hatred is of lying lips; And he that uttereth a slander is a fool.

¹⁹In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression; But he that refraineth his lips doeth wisely.

²⁰The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver: The heart of the wicked is little worth.
