Proverbs 21:8-12 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

8. The way of a guilty man is crooked, But as for the pure, his conduct is upright.

9. It is better to live in a corner of a roof Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.

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

11. When the scoffer is punished, the naive becomes wise; But when the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.

12. The righteous one considers the house of the wicked, Turning the wicked to ruin.
