Proverbs 10:6-8
New Catholic Bible

6 Blessings are showered on the head of the righteous,
    but sorrow will cover the face of the wicked.
7 The righteous is remembered with blessings,
    but the name of the wicked fades away.
8 A wise man will heed commandments,
    but a babbling fool will come to grief.
