Proverbs 21:17

15 Justice executed is a joy to the righteous, but a terror to the workers of iniquity.

16 The man who strays from the path of understanding will rest in the assembly of the dead.

He who loves pleasure will become poor; the one who loves wine and oil will never be rich.

18 The wicked become a ransom for the righteous, and the faithless for the upright.

19 Better to live in the desert than with a contentious and ill-tempered wife.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
