Proverbs 21:10-12

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁰ The soul or life of the wicked craves and seeks evil; his neighbor finds no favor in his eyes.^(A)

¹¹ When the scoffer is punished, the fool gets a lesson in being wise; but men of [godly] Wisdom and good sense learn by being instructed.

¹² The [uncompromisingly] righteous man considers well the house of the wicked—how the wicked are cast down to ruin.
