Proverbs 21:4-11

⁴A high look, and a proud heart, And the plowing of the wicked, is sin.

⁵The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; But of every one that is hasty only to want.

⁶The getting of treasures by a lying tongue Is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.

⁷The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; Because they refuse to do judgment.

⁸The way of man is froward and strange: But as for the pure, his work is right.

⁹It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, Than with a brawling woman in a wide house.

¹⁰The soul of the wicked desireth evil: His neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.

¹¹When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: And when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
