Proverbs 21:8-15

⁸Guilty people continually do what is evil; it is as though MET they are walking on a crooked road; but righteous/innocent people always do what is right.

⁹It is better to live in the corner of an attic/housetop by yourself than to live inside the house with a wife who is always nagging.

¹⁰Wicked people SYN are always wanting to do what is evil; they never act mercifully toward anyone.

¹¹When those who ridicule others are punished, even those who do not have good sense see that, and they become wise, and when those who are wise are taught, they become wiser.

¹²God, the one who is completely righteous, knows what happens inside the houses of wicked people, and he will cause those people to be completely ruined/destroyed.

¹³There are people who refuse to listen when poor people cry out for help; but some day they themselves will cry out for help, and no one will hear them.

¹⁴When someone is angry with you, if you secretly give him a gift, he will stop being angry.

¹⁵Good/Righteous people are happy when they see others do what is just/fair, but those who do what is evil are terrified when they think about what may happen to them.
