Proverbs 13:5-7

Authorized (King James) Version

⁵A righteous man hateth lying:
but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.

⁶Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way:
but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.

⁷There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing:
there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.

Proverbs 13:5-7

but wickedness overthrows the sinner.^(B)
