Proverbs 21:10

Sin

8 The way of a guilty man is crooked, but the conduct of the innocent is upright.

9 Better to live on a corner of the roof than to share a house with a quarrelsome wife.

The soul of the wicked man craves evil; his neighbor finds no favor in his eyes.

11 When a mocker is punished, the simple gain wisdom; and when a wise man is instructed, he acquires knowledge.

12 The Righteous One considers the house of the wicked and brings the wicked to ruin.
