Proverbs
Chapters 21:5-11
Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version
5Careful planning leads to profit. Acting too quickly leads to poverty.
6Wealth that comes from telling lies disappears quickly and leads to death.
7The bad things that evil people do will destroy them, because they refuse to do what is right.
8Criminals cause trouble wherever they go, but good people are honest and fair.
9It is better to live in a small corner on the roof than to share the house with a woman who is always arguing.
10Evil people always want to do more evil, and they show no mercy to people around them.
11When you punish a proud person who laughs at what is right, even fools will learn something. But a little instruction is enough for the wise to learn what they should.
