Proverbs 21:15-17

Modern English Version

¹⁵ It is joy to the just to do justice,
    but destruction will come to the workers of iniquity.

¹⁶ The man who wanders out of the way of understanding
    will remain in the congregation of the dead.

¹⁷ He who loves pleasure will be a poor man;
    he who loves wine and oil will not be rich.
