PROVERBS 3:31-35

Do not envy the violent

or choose any of their ways.

For the Lord detests the perverse

but takes the upright into his confidence.

The Lord’s curse is on the house of the wicked,

but he blesses the home of the righteous.

He mocks proud mockers

but shows favour to the humble and oppressed.

The wise inherit honour,

but fools get only shame.
