Proverbs 10:8-14 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

8. A wise heart accepts commands,but a babbling fool will be overthrown.

9. Whoever walks honestly walks securely,but one whose ways are crooked will fare badly.

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.
