The violence of the wicked will drive them away,
because they refuse to do what is right.
The violence of the wicked will drive them away,
because they refuse to do what is right.
Proverbs 21:4–10
A high look and a proud heart,
the lamp of the wicked, is sin.
The plans of the diligent surely lead to profit;
and everyone who is hasty surely rushes to poverty.
Getting treasures by a lying tongue
is a fleeting vapor for those who seek death.
The violence of the wicked will drive them away,
because they refuse to do what is right.
The way of the guilty is devious,
but the conduct of the innocent is upright.
It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop
than to share a house with a contentious woman.
The soul of the wicked desires evil;
his neighbor finds no mercy in his eyes.
