Proverbs 21:6-8
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
6 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue
is a fleeting vapour and a snare[a] of death.
7 The violence of the wicked will sweep them away,
because they refuse to do what is just.
8 The way of the guilty is crooked,
but the conduct of the pure is right.
