Proverbs
Chapters 21:6-12
New International Version Anglicized
6A fortune made by a lying tongueis a fleeting vapour and a deadly snare.
7The violence of the wicked will drag them away,for they refuse to do what is right.
8The way of the guilty is devious,but the conduct of the innocent is upright.
9Better to live on a corner of the roofthan share a house with a quarrelsome wife.
10The wicked crave evil;their neighbours get no mercy from them.
11When a mocker is punished, the simple gain wisdom;by paying attention to the wise they get knowledge.
12The Righteous One takes note of the house of the wickedand brings the wicked to ruin.
