Proverbs 10:18 BBE

¹⁶  The work of the upright gives life: the increase of the evil-doer is a cause of sin.

¹⁷  He who takes note of teaching is a way of life, but he who gives up training is a cause of error.

¹⁸  Hate is covered up by the lips of the upright man, but he who lets out evil about another is foolish.

¹⁹  Where there is much talk there will be no end to sin, but he who keeps his mouth shut does wisely.

²⁰  The tongue of the upright man is like tested silver: the heart of the evil-doer is of little value.
