Proverbs 21:5-11

⁵The thoughts of the industrious always bring forth abundance: but every sluggard is always in want.

⁶He that gathereth treasures by a lying tongue, is vain and foolish, and shall stumble upon the snares of death.

⁷The robberies of the wicked shall be their downfall, because they would not do judgment.

⁸The perverse way of a man is strange: but as for him that is pure, his work is right.

⁹It is better to sit in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling women, and in a common house.

¹⁰The soul of the wicked desireth evil, he will not have pity on his neighbour.

¹¹When a pestilent man is punished, the little one will be wiser: and if he follow the wise, he will receive knowledge.
