Proverbs 11:19-21

Modern English Version

¹⁹As righteousness tends to life,
so he who pursues evil pursues it to his own death.

²⁰Those who are of a perverse heart are abomination to the Lord,
but such as are upright in their way are His delight.

²¹Though be assured, the wicked will not be unpunished,
but the posterity of the righteous will be delivered.
