Proverbs 10:18
Compare all
16 The labor of the righteous leads to alife,
The wages of the wicked to sin. 
17 He who keeps instruction is in the way of life,
But he who refuses correction1 goes astray. 
18 Whoever ahides hatred has lying lips,
And bwhoever spreads slander is a fool. 
19 aIn the multitude of words sin is not lacking,
But bhe who restrains his lips is wise. 
20 The tongue of the righteous is choice silver;
The heart of the wicked is worth little.
21 The lips of the righteous feed many,
But fools die for lack of1 wisdom.
