Proverbs 21:6-11

1. 6 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.

2. 7 The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment.

3. 8 The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right.

4. 9 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.

5. 10 The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.

6. 11 When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
