Proverbs 21:10-12
Common English Bible

10 Wicked people desire evil;
    their neighbors receive no mercy from them.
11 When a mocker is punished, the naive person gains wisdom;
    when insight comes to the wise, knowledge increases.
12 The righteous one observes the house of the wicked,
    turning the wicked toward trouble.
