Proverbs 21:3-10 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

3. Do what is right and fair. The Lord loves that more than sacrifices.

4. Proud looks and proud thoughts are sins. They show a person is evil.

5. Careful planning leads to profit. Acting too quickly leads to poverty.

6. Wealth that comes from telling lies disappears quickly and leads to death.

7. The bad things that evil people do will destroy them, because they refuse to do what is right.

8. Criminals cause trouble wherever they go, but good people are honest and fair.

9. It is better to live in a small corner on the roof than to share the house with a woman who is always arguing.

10. Evil people always want to do more evil, and they show no mercy to people around them.
