Proverbs 3:33
31 Do not envy a violent man or choose any of his ways;
32 for the LORD detests the perverse, but He is a friend to the upright.
The curse of the LORD is on the house of the wicked, but He blesses the home of the righteous.
34 He mocks the mockers, but gives grace to the humble.
35 The wise will inherit honor, but fools are held up to shame.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
