Proverbs 21:5-25 - ESV - The plans of the diligent lead surely to abunda...

5 The plans of ¹the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is ²hasty comes ³only to poverty.

6 ⁴The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a ⁵fleeting ⁶vapor and a ⁷snare of death.^a

7 The violence of the wicked will ⁸sweep them away, because they refuse to do what is just.

8 The way of the guilty ⁹is crooked, but the conduct of the pure is upright.

9 It is ¹⁰better to live in a corner of the housetop than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.

10 The soul of the wicked desires evil; his neighbor finds no mercy in his eyes.

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

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

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

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

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

16 One who wanders from the way of good sense ¹⁶will 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 ¹⁷The wicked is a ¹⁸ransom for the righteous, and the traitor for the upright.

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

20 ²⁰Precious treasure and oil are in a wise man's dwelling, but a foolish man ²¹devours it.

21 Whoever ²²pursues righteousness and kindness will find ²³life, righteousness, and honor.

22 ²⁴A wise man scales the city of the mighty and brings down the stronghold in which they trust.

23 ²⁵Whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue ²⁶keeps himself out of ²⁷trouble.

24 ²⁸"Scoffer" is the name of the arrogant, haughty man who acts with arrogant pride.

25 The desire of ²⁹the sluggard kills him, for his hands refuse to labor.
