Proverbs 10:16

 1 The proverbs   of Solomon:   A wise son brings joy to his father,   but a foolish son brings grief to his mother.  2 Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value,   but righteousness delivers from death.    3 The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry,   but he thwarts the craving of the wicked.    4 Lazy hands make for poverty,   but diligent hands bring wealth.    5 He who gathers crops in summer is a prudent son, but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son.    6 Blessings crown the head of the righteous, but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked.     7 The name of the righteous   is used in blessings,  but the name of the wicked   will rot.    8 The wise in heart accept commands, but a chattering fool comes to ruin.    9 Whoever walks in integrity   walks securely,   but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out.    10 Whoever winks maliciously   causes grief, and a chattering fool comes to ruin.  11 The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life,   but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.    12 Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs.    13 Wisdom is found on the lips of the discerning,   but a rod is for the back of one who has no sense.    14 The wise store up knowledge,   but the mouth of a fool invites ruin.    15 The wealth of the rich is their fortified city,   but poverty is the ruin of the poor.    16 The wages of the righteous is life,   but the earnings of the wicked are sin and death.   

From Wikipedia: 

The New International Version (NIV) is an English translation of the Bible first published in 1978 by Biblica (formerly the International Bible Society). The NIV was published to meet the need for a modern translation done by Bible scholars using the earliest, highest quality manuscripts available. Of equal importance was that the Bible be expressed in broadly understood modern English.

The NIV is published by Zondervan in the United States and Hodder & Stoughton in the UK. The NIV was updated in 1984 and 2011 and has become one of the most popular and best-selling modern translations.
