Proverbs 21:8-10
Living Bible
8 A man is known by his actions.[a] An evil man lives an evil life; a good man lives a godly life.
9 It is better to live in the corner of an attic than with a crabby woman in a lovely home.
10 An evil man loves to harm others; being a good neighbor is out of his line.

their neighbors get no mercy from them.
