Proverbs 21:3-9

³To do justly and to speak truth, are more pleasing to God than the blood of sacrifices.

⁴A high-minded man is stout-hearted in his pride; and the lamp of the wicked is sin.

⁶He that gathers treasures with a lying tongue pursues vanity on to the snares of death.

⁷Destruction shall lodge with the ungodly; for they refuse to do justly.

⁸To the froward God sends froward ways; for his works are pure and right.

⁹It is better to dwell in a corner on the house-top, than in plastered rooms with unrighteousness, and in an open house.
