Proverbs 21:10-12

New Century Version

¹⁰ Evil people only want to harm others.
    Their neighbors get no mercy from them.

¹¹ If you punish those who make fun of wisdom, a foolish person may gain some wisdom.
    But if you teach the wise, they will get knowledge.

¹² God, who is always right, watches the house of the wicked
    and brings ruin on every evil person.
