So a cruel messenger will be sent against him.

¹⁹ He who ^(A)loves transgression loves strife;

And he who is ^(D)perverted in his language falls into evil.

²⁴ Wisdom is in the presence of the one who has understanding,
But the ^(A)eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth.

He ^[a](A)quarrels against all sound wisdom.
² A fool does not delight in understanding,
But only ^(B)in revealing his own ^[b]mind.

¹⁴ “Bad, bad,” says the buyer,
But when he goes his way, then he boasts.

²⁹ A wicked man ^[a](A)displays a bold face,
But as for the ^(B)upright, he makes his way sure.

^10 (A)Drive out the scoffer, and contention will go out,
Even strife and dishonor will cease.

⁸ He who ^(A)sows iniquity will reap vanity,
And the ^(B)rod of his fury will perish.
