Proverbs 10:15-17

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁵ The wealth of the rich is their fortress;
    the poverty of the poor is their ruin.
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.
