Proverbs 21:10-19

Justice, Consequences, and Wealth

Proverbs 21:10-19
10
The soul of the wicked hath desired evil, Not gracious in his eyes is his neighbour.
11
When the scorner is punished, the simple becometh wise, And in giving understanding to the wise He receiveth knowledge.
12
The Righteous One is acting wisely Towards the house of the wicked, He is overthrowing the wicked for wickedness.
13
Whoso is shutting his ear from the cry of the poor, He also doth cry, and is not answered.
14
A gift in secret pacifieth anger, And a bribe in the bosom strong fury.
15
To do justice is joy to the righteous, But ruin to workers of iniquity.
16
A man who is wandering from the way of understanding, In an assembly of Rephaim resteth.
17
Whoso is loving mirth is a poor man, Whoso is loving wine and oil maketh no wealth.
18
The wicked is an atonement for the righteous, And for the upright the treacherous dealer.
19
Better to dwell in a wilderness land, Than with a woman of contentions and anger.
