Proverbs 10:17-19

New International Reader's Version

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.

¹⁹ Sin is not ended by using many words.
    But those who are wise control their tongues.
