Proverbs 10:16-18
EasyEnglish Bible
16 Righteous people receive life as their wages.[a]
Wicked people receive only punishment.
17 People who listen when people warn them are on the road to life.
But those who refuse to listen are on a different road.
18 If you hate somebody but you try to hide it, you are telling lies.
And if you say false things about other people, you are a fool.
