Proverbs 21:6-12 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

6. Getting treasures by a lying tongueis a fleeting vapour for those who seek death.

7. The violence of the wicked will drive them away,because they refuse to do what is right.

8. The way of the guilty is devious,but the conduct of the innocent is upright.

9. It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop,than to share a house with a contentious woman.

10. The soul of the wicked desires evil;his neighbour finds no mercy in his eyes.

11. When the mocker is punished, the simple gains wisdom.When the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.

12. The Righteous One considers the house of the wicked,and brings the wicked to ruin.
