New King James Version

Proverbs 10:15-18 New King James Version (NKJV)

15. The rich man’s wealth is his strong city;The destruction of the poor is their poverty.

16. The labor of the righteous leads to life,The wages of the wicked to sin.

17. He who keeps instruction is in the way of life,But he who refuses correction goes astray.

18. Whoever hides hatred has lying lips,And whoever spreads slander is a fool.
