Proverbs 11:18-20

Amplified Bible

¹⁸
The wicked man earns deceptive wages,
But he who sows righteousness and lives his life with integrity will have a true reward [that is both permanent and satisfying].^(A)
¹⁹
He who is steadfast in righteousness attains life,
But he who pursues evil attains his own death.
²⁰
The perverse in heart are repulsive and shamefully vile to the Lord,
But those who are blameless and above reproach in their walk are His delight!
