Proverbs 11:18-21
New International Version
18 A wicked person earns deceptive wages,
but the one who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward.(A)
20 The Lord detests those whose hearts are perverse,(D)
but he delights(E) in those whose ways are blameless.(F)
21 Be sure of this: The wicked will not go unpunished,
but those who are righteous will go free.(G)
Proverbs 11:18-21
New King James Version
18 The wicked man does deceptive work,
But (A)he who sows righteousness will have a sure reward.
19 As righteousness leads to (B)life,
So he who pursues evil pursues it to his own (C)death.
20 Those who are of a perverse heart are an abomination to the Lord,
But the blameless in their ways are His delight.
21 (D)Though they join [a]forces, the wicked will not go unpunished;
But (E)the posterity of the righteous will be delivered.
