Proverbs 10:16-18

New International Reader's Version

¹⁶ People who do what is right earn life.
    But sinners earn sin and death.

¹⁷ Anyone who pays attention to correction
    shows the path to life.
But anyone who refuses to be corrected
    leads others down the wrong path.

¹⁸ Anyone who hides hatred with lying lips
    and spreads lies is foolish.
