Proverbs 21:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷The harmful things that evil people do will drag them away.
They refuse to do what is right.

⁸The path of those who are guilty is crooked.
But the conduct of those who are not guilty is honest.

⁹It is better to live on a corner of a roof
than to share a house with a nagging wife.
