Proverbs 21:11-31 - ESV - When a scoffer is punished, the simple becomes ...

11 When ¹a scoffer is punished, the simple becomes wise; when a wise man is instructed, he gains knowledge.

12 The Righteous One ²observes the house of the wicked; he throws the wicked down to ruin.

13 ³Whoever closes his ear to the cry of the poor will himself call out and not be answered.

14 ⁴A gift in secret averts anger, and a concealed bribe,^a strong wrath.

15 When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous ⁵but terror to evildoers.

16 One who wanders from the way of good sense ⁶will rest in the assembly of the dead.

17 Whoever loves pleasure will be a poor man; he who loves wine and oil will not be rich.

18 ⁷The wicked is a ⁸ransom for the righteous, and the traitor for the upright.

19 It is ⁹better to live in a desert land than with a quarrelsome and fretful woman.

20 ¹⁰Precious treasure and oil are in a wise man's dwelling, but a foolish man ¹¹devours it.

21 Whoever ¹²pursues righteousness and kindness will find ¹³life, righteousness, and honor.

22 ¹⁴A wise man scales the city of the mighty and brings down the stronghold in which they trust.

23 ¹⁵Whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue ¹⁶keeps himself out of ¹⁷trouble.

24 ¹⁸"Scoffer" is the name of the arrogant, haughty man who acts with arrogant pride.

25 The desire of ¹⁹the sluggard kills him, for his hands refuse to labor.

26 All day long he craves and craves, but the righteous ²⁰gives and does not hold back.

27 ²¹The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination; how much more ²²when he brings it with evil intent.

28 ²³A false witness will perish, but the word of a man who hears will endure.

29 A wicked man puts on a bold face, but the upright ²⁴gives thought to^b his ways.

30 ²⁵No wisdom, no understanding, no counsel can avail against the LORD.

31 ²⁶The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but ²⁷the victory belongs to the LORD.
