Proverbs 21:7

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

The violence of the wicked will sweep them away because they refuse to do what is just.

See the chapter Copy

Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness will find life and honor.

Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes on those who are disobedient.

As for his father, because he practiced extortion, robbed his brother, and did what is not good among his people, he died for his iniquity.

And I will cast you out of my sight, just as I cast out all your kinsfolk, all the offspring of Ephraim.

Blessings are on the head of the righteous, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.

The Lord has made himself known; he has executed judgment; the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands. Higgaion. Selah

Their mischief returns upon their own heads, and on their own heads their violence descends.

Ah, you who turn justice to wormwood and bring righteousness to the ground!
