Proverbs 10:15-17

American Standard Version

¹⁵ The rich man’s wealth is his strong city:
The destruction of the poor is their poverty.
¹⁶ The labor of the righteous tendeth to life;
The increase of the wicked, to sin.
¹⁷ He ^[a]is in the way of life that heedeth ^[b]correction;
But he that forsaketh reproof ^[c]erreth.
