Proverbs 21:6-9 English Standard Version (ESV)

6. The getting of treasures by a lying tongueis a fleeting vapor and a snare of death.

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

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

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