Proverbs 11:19-21

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁹ Genuine righteousness leads to life,^(A)
but pursuing evil leads to death.^(B)

²⁰ Those with twisted minds are detestable to the Lord,
but those with blameless conduct are His delight.^(C)

²¹ Be assured^[a] that the wicked
will not go unpunished,^(D)
but the offspring of the righteous will escape.
