Proverbs 10:17-19

Amplified Bible

¹⁷ 
He who learns from instruction and correction is on the [right] path of life [and for others his example is a path toward wisdom and blessing],
But he who ignores and refuses correction goes off course [and for others his example is a path toward sin and ruin].
¹⁸ 
He who hides hatred has lying lips,
And he who spreads slander is a fool.^(A)
19 
When there are many words, transgression and offense are unavoidable,
But he who controls his lips and keeps thoughtful silence is wise.
