Proverbs 10:10-16 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

10. One who winks at a fault causes trouble,but one who frankly reproves promotes peace.

11. The mouth of the just is a fountain of life,but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.

12. Hatred stirs up disputes, but love covers all offenses.

13. On the lips of the intelligent is found wisdom,but a rod for the back of one without sense.

14. The wise store up knowledge,but the mouth of a fool is imminent ruin.

15. The wealth of the rich is their strong city;the ruin of the poor is their poverty.

16. The labor of the just leads to life,the gains of the wicked, to futility.
