Proverbs 21:6-9

⁶He who gets stores of wealth by a false tongue, is going after what is only breath, and searching for death.

⁷By their violent acts the evil-doers will be pulled away, because they have no desire to do what is right.

⁸Twisted is the way of him who is full of crime; but as for him whose heart is clean, his work is upright.

⁹It is better to be living in an angle of the house-top, than with a bitter-tongued woman in a wide house.
