Proverbs 21:15-22
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 21
15
The exercise of justice is joy for the righteous,
But terror to those who practice injustice.
16
A person who wanders from the way of understanding
Will rest in the assembly of the dead.
17
One who loves pleasure
will become
a poor person;
One who loves wine and oil will not become rich.
18
The wicked is a ransom for the righteous,
And the treacherous is in the place of the upright.
19
It is better to live in a desert land
Than with a contentious and irritating woman.
20
There is precious treasure and oil in the home of the wise,
But a foolish person swallows it up.
21
One who pursues righteousness and loyalty
Finds life, righteousness, and honor.
22
A wise person scales the city of the mighty
And brings down the stronghold in which they trust.
King James Version
Chapter 21
15
It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
16
The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.
17
He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.
18
The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.
19
It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.
20
There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up.
21
He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.
22
A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 21
15
Justice executed is a joy to the righteous
but a terror to those who practice iniquity.
16
The person who strays from the way of prudence
will come to rest in the assembly of the departed spirits.
17
The one who loves pleasure will become poor;
whoever loves wine and oil will not get rich.
18
The wicked are a ransom for the righteous,
and the treacherous, for the upright.
19
Better to live in a wilderness
than with a nagging and hot-tempered wife.
20
Precious treasure and oil are in the dwelling of a wise person,
but a fool consumes them.
21
The one who pursues righteousness and faithful love
will find life, righteousness, and honor.
22
A wise person went up against a city of warriors
and brought down its secure fortress.
New Living Translation
Chapter 21
15
Justice is a joy to the godly,
but it terrifies evildoers.
16
The person who strays from common sense
will end up in the company of the dead.
17
Those who love pleasure become poor;
those who love wine and luxury will never be rich.
18
The wicked are punished in place of the godly,
and traitors in place of the honest.
19
It’s better to live alone in the desert
than with a quarrelsome, complaining wife.
20
The wise have wealth and luxury,
but fools spend whatever they get.
21
Whoever pursues righteousness and unfailing love
will find life, righteousness, and honor.
22
The wise conquer the city of the strong
and level the fortress in which they trust.
