Proverbs 21:6-12

⁶The getting of treasures by a false tongue Is the fleeting breath of them that seek death.

⁷The rapine of the wicked shall snatch them away, Because they refuse to do justice.

⁸The way of the guilty man is crooked; But he that is pure, his doings are right.

⁹Better is it to dwell in a corner of the housetop Than with a brawling woman in a large house.

¹⁰The soul of the wicked longeth to do evil; His neighbor findeth no compassion in his eyes.

¹¹When the scoffer is punished, the simple is made wise; When the wise man is taught, he receiveth knowledge.

¹²The righteous man hath regard to the house of the wicked; He casteth the wicked headlong into ruin.
