Proverbs 10:14-16

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁴ The wise lay up knowledge,
    but the babbling of a fool brings ruin near.
¹⁵ The wealth of the rich is their fortress;
    the poverty of the poor is their ruin.
¹⁶ The wage of the righteous leads to life,
    the gain of the wicked to sin.
