Justice, Consequences, and Wealth

Proverbs 21:10-19
10
The soul of the wicked man craves evil; his neighbor finds no favor in his eyes.
11
When a mocker is punished, the simple gain wisdom; and when a wise man is instructed, he acquires knowledge.
12
The Righteous One considers the house of the wicked and brings the wicked to ruin.
13
Whoever shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he too shall cry out and receive no answer.
14
A gift in secret soothes anger, and a covert bribe pacifies great wrath.
15
Justice executed is a joy to the righteous, but a terror to the workers of iniquity.
16
The man who strays from the path of understanding will rest in the assembly of the dead.
17
He who loves pleasure will become poor; the one who loves wine and oil will never be rich.
18
The wicked become a ransom for the righteous, and the faithless for the upright.
19
Better to live in the desert than with a contentious and ill-tempered wife.
