Proverbs 21:15-17
Complete Jewish Bible
15 Acting justly is a joy for the righteous
but it terrifies evildoers.
16 The person who strays from the way of common sense
will come to rest in the company of the dead.
17 Pleasure-lovers will suffer want;
he who loves wine and oil won’t get rich.
Proverbs 21:15-17
New International Version
15 When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous
but terror to evildoers.(A)
16 Whoever strays from the path of prudence
comes to rest in the company of the dead.(B)
17 Whoever loves pleasure will become poor;
whoever loves wine and olive oil will never be rich.(C)
