Proverbs 21:15-17

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁵ The exercise of justice is joy for the righteous,
But is ^(A)terror to the workers of iniquity.
¹⁶ A man who wanders from the way of understanding
Will ^(B)rest in the assembly of the ^[a]dead.
¹⁷ He who ^(C)loves pleasure will become a poor man;
He who loves wine and oil will not become rich.
