Proverbs 21:15-17

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁵ Justice executed is a joy to the righteous
but a terror to those who practice iniquity.^(A)

¹⁶ The man who strays from the way of wisdom
will come to rest
in the assembly of the departed spirits.^(B)

¹⁷ The one who loves pleasure will become a poor man;
whoever loves wine and oil will not get rich.^(C)
