Proverbs 11:19-21
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
19 Justice leads toward life,
but pursuit of evil, toward death.
20 The crooked in heart are an abomination to the Lord,
but those who walk blamelessly are his delight.[a]
21 Be assured, the wicked shall not go unpunished,
but the offspring of the just shall escape.
