Proverbs 21:15-17
New Catholic Bible
15 When justice is done, the upright rejoice,
but evildoers are filled with terror.
16 Anyone who strays from the way of prudence
will rest in the company of the shades.[a]
17 Whoever craves pleasure will end up in want;
whoever loves wine and oil will never grow rich.
