Proverbs 3:31-33
Authorized (King James) Version
31 Envy thou not the oppressor,
and choose none of his ways.
32 For the froward is abomination to the Lord:
but his secret is with the righteous.
33 The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked:
but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
Proverbs 4:14-19
Authorized (King James) Version
14 Enter not into the path of the wicked,
and go not in the way of evil men.
15 Avoid it, pass not by it,
turn from it, and pass away.
16 For they sleep not, except they have done mischief;
and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.
17 For they eat the bread of wickedness,
and drink the wine of violence.
18 But the path of the just is as the shining light,
that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
19 The way of the wicked is as darkness:
they know not at what they stumble.
Proverbs 5:22-23

22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself,
and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.
23 He shall die without instruction;
and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
Proverbs 6:12-15
Authorized (King James) Version
12 A naughty person, a wicked man,
walketh with a froward mouth.
13 He winketh with his eyes,
he speaketh with his feet,
he teacheth with his fingers;
14 frowardness is in his heart,
he deviseth mischief continually;
he soweth discord.
15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly;
suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
Proverbs 10:6-7

but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
7 The memory of the just is blessed:
but the name of the wicked shall rot.
Proverbs 10:24-30
Authorized (King James) Version
24 The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him:
but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.
25 As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more:
but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.
26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes,
so is the sluggard to them that send him.
27 The fear of the Lord prolongeth days:
but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
28 The hope of the righteous shall be gladness:
but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.
29 The way of the Lord is strength to the upright:
but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
30 The righteous shall never be removed:
but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth.

but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
24 He that hateth dissembleth with his lips,
