New Testament

Proverbs 10:16-21 American Standard Version (ASV)

16. The labor of the righteous tendeth to life; The increase of the wicked, to sin.

17. He is in the way of life that heedeth correction; But he that forsaketh reproof erreth.

18. He that hideth hatred is of lying lips; And he that uttereth a slander is a fool.

19. In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression; But he that refraineth his lips doeth wisely.

20. The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver: The heart of the wicked is little worth.

21. The lips of the righteous feed many; But the foolish die for lack of understanding.
