Justice, Consequences, and Wealth

Proverbs 21:10-19
10
The soul of the wicked desireth evil: His neighbor findeth no favor in his eyes.
11
When the scoffer is punished, the simple is made wise; And when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
12
The righteous man considereth the house of the wicked, Howthe wicked are overthrown to their ruin.
13
Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, He also shall cry, but shall not be heard.
14
A gift in secret pacifieth anger; And a present in the bosom, strong wrath.
15
It is joy to the righteous to do justice; But it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.
16
The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding Shall rest in the assembly of the dead.
17
He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: He that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.
18
The wicked is a ransom for the righteous; And the treacherouscomethin the stead of the upright.
19
It is better to dwell in a desert land, Than with a contentious and fretful woman.
