Proverbs 21:3-13

3 To do righteousness and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.
4 A high look and a proud heart, which is the fire of the wicked, is sin.
5 The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness, but of every one that is too hasty, only to want.
6 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of those that seek death.
7 The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them because they refuse to do judgment.
8 The way of the perverse man is crooked and strange, but as for the pure, his work is right.
9 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop than with a brawling woman in a wide house.
10 The soul of the wicked desires evil; his neighbour finds no favour in his eyes.
11 When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise, and by instructing the wise, he receives wisdom.
12 The righteous man wisely considers the house of the wicked, how God overthrows the wicked for their evil.
13 Whosoever stops his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself but shall not be heard.
