Proverbs 10:17-19

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁷ Whoever heeds instruction is on the path to life,
    but one who rejects a rebuke goes astray.
¹⁸ Lying lips conceal hatred,
    and whoever utters slander is a fool.
¹⁹ When words are many, transgression is not lacking,
    but the prudent are restrained in speech.
