Proverbs 17:4

One who acts wickedly pays attention to evil counsel; a liar listens to a malicious tongue. [New English Translation]

An evil doer is attentive to lips of vanity, Falsehood is giving ear to a mischievous tongue. [Young's Literal Translation]

Whoever practices evil pays attention to wicked speech, and the liar listens to malicious talk. [International Standard Version]

An evildoer listens closely to wicked lips; And a liar pays attention to a destructive and malicious tongue. [Amplified Bible]
