Proverbs 10:15-17

New International Reader's Version

¹⁵ The wealth of rich people is like a city that makes them feel safe.
    But having nothing destroys those who are poor.

¹⁶ People who do what is right earn life.
    But sinners earn sin and death.

¹⁷ Anyone who pays attention to correction
    shows the path to life.
But anyone who refuses to be corrected
    leads others down the wrong path.
