Proverbs 21:10-12
Amplified Bible
10
The soul of the wicked desires evil [like an addictive substance];
His neighbor finds no compassion in his eyes.(A)
11
When the scoffer is punished, the naive [observes the lesson and] becomes wise;
But when the wise and teachable person is instructed, he receives knowledge.(B)
12
The righteous one keeps an eye on the house of the wicked—
How the wicked are cast down to ruin.
Proverbs 21:10-12
New International Version
10 The wicked crave evil;
their neighbors get no mercy from them.
11 When a mocker is punished, the simple gain wisdom;
by paying attention to the wise they get knowledge.(A)
