Proverbs 10:9-11
Contemporary English Version
9 You will be safe,
if you always do right,
but you will get caught,
if you are dishonest.
10 Deceit causes trouble,
and foolish talk
will bring you to ruin.[a]
11 The words of good people
are a source of life,
but evil hides behind
the words of the wicked.
