Proverbs 15:4-6
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

4 A gentle tongue is a tree of life,
    but perverseness in it breaks the spirit.
5 A fool despises a parent’s instruction,
    but the one who heeds admonition is prudent.
6 In the house of the righteous there is much treasure,
    but trouble befalls the income of the wicked.
