Proverbs 22:10-12

New International Reader's Version

¹⁰ If you drive away those who make fun of others, fighting also goes away.
    Arguing and unkind words will stop.

¹¹ A person who has a pure and loving heart and speaks kindly
    will be a friend of the king.

¹² The eyes of the Lord keep watch over knowledge.
    But he does away with the words of those who aren’t faithful.
