Proverbs 10:17-19

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁷ He who heeds instruction and correction is [not only himself] in the way of life [but also] is a way of life for others. And he who neglects or refuses reproof [not only himself] goes astray [but also] causes to err and is a path toward ruin for others.

¹⁸ He who hides hatred is of lying lips, and he who utters slander is a [self-confident] fool.^(A)

¹⁹ In a multitude of words transgression is not lacking, but he who restrains his lips is prudent.
