Proverbs 21:6-12 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

6. Getting treasures by a lying tongue is like a fleeting vapor for those who seek death.

7. The violence of the wicked sweeps them away, because they refuse to act justly.

8. The way of the guilty is crooked, but the conduct of the pure is upright.

9. It is better to live on a corner of a roof than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.

10. A wicked soul craves evil— his neighbor finds no favor in his eyes.

11. When a mocker is punished, the naïve become wise. When a wise person is instructed, he gains knowledge.

12. The righteous one considers the house of the wicked, throwing the wicked down to their ruin.
