Proverbs 10:11-13
Easy-to-Read Version

11 The words of good people are like a spring of fresh water,[a] but the words of the wicked only hide their violent plans.

12 Hatred causes arguments, but love overlooks all wrongs.

13 Intelligent people speak words of wisdom, but fools must be punished before they learn their lesson.[b]
