Proverbs 21:4-9 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

4. Haughty eyes and a proud heart— the lamp of the wicked is sin.

5. Plans of the diligent surely lead to gain, but all who are hasty come only to loss.

6. Getting treasures by a lying tongue is like a fleeting vapor for those who seek death.

7. The violence of the wicked sweeps them away, because they refuse to act justly.

8. The way of the guilty is crooked, but the conduct of the pure is upright.

9. It is better to live on a corner of a roof than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.
