Proverbs 10:8-10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
8 A wise heart accepts commands,
but a babbling fool will be overthrown.[a]
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.
