Word
Proverbs 10, 17-21
People who accept discipline are on the pathway to life,
but those who ignore correction will go astray.
Hiding hatred makes you a liar;
slandering others makes you a fool.
Too much talk leads to sin.
Be sensible and keep your mouth shut.
The words of the godly are like sterling silver;
the heart of a fool is worthless.
The words of the godly encourage many,
but fools are destroyed by their lack of common sense.
