Proverbs 10:28

The Message

The aspirations of good people end in celebration; the ambitions of bad people crash.

See the chapter Copy

I’m happy from the inside out, and from the outside in, I’m firmly formed. You canceled my ticket to hell— that’s not my destination!

The desires of good people lead straight to the best, but wicked ambition ends in angry frustration.

When the wicked die, that’s it— the story’s over, end of hope.

The evil of bad people leaves them out in the cold; the integrity of good people creates a safe place for living.

Evil people fall into their own traps; good people run the other way, glad to escape.
