Proverbs 21:3-12

1. 3 To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.

2. 4 An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.

3. 5 The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want.

4. 6 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.

5. 7 The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment.

6. 8 The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right.

7. 9 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.

8. 10 The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.

9. 11 When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.

10. 12 The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked: but God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.
