Proverbs 11:18-21
Legacy Standard Bible
18 The wicked earns deceptive wages,
But he who (A)sows righteousness gets a true reward.
19 He who is steadfast in (B)righteousness will attain to life,
And (C)he who pursues evil will bring about his own death.
20 Those with a crooked heart are an abomination to Yahweh,
But those of a (D)blameless way are His (E)delight.
21 [a]Assuredly, the evil man will not go unpunished,
But the seed of the righteous will escape.
