Proverbs 21:7 (WEB)
Context Reading
5The plans of the diligent surely lead to profit;and everyone who is hasty surely rushes to poverty. 6Getting treasures by a lying tongueis a fleeting vapor for those who seek death. 7The violence of the wicked will drive them away,because they refuse to do what is right. 8The way of the guilty is devious,but the conduct of the innocent is upright. 9It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetopthan to share a house with a contentious woman.
