New Testament

Proverbs 21:3-9 New Living Translation (NLT)

3. The lord is more pleased when we do what is right and justthan when we offer him sacrifices.

4. Haughty eyes, a proud heart,and evil actions are all sin.

5. Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity,but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty.

6. Wealth created by a lying tongueis a vanishing mist and a deadly trap.

7. The violence of the wicked sweeps them away,because they refuse to do what is just.

8. The guilty walk a crooked path;the innocent travel a straight road.

9. It’s better to live alone in the corner of an atticthan with a quarrelsome wife in a lovely home.
