Proverbs 11:20


← Proverbs 11:19 Proverbs 11:20 (KJV) Proverbs 11:21 →
As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.
They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.
Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.
