Proverbs 21:10-12

Lexham English Bible

¹⁰ The soul^[a] of the wicked desires evil;
    his neighbor will not find mercy in his eyes.
¹¹ With the punishment of a scoffer, the simple will become wise,
    and with the instruction of the wise, he will obtain knowledge.
¹² The righteous observes the house of the wicked;
    he throws the wicked to ruin.
