it up.” “A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the upright, he directeth his way.”

Proverbs 21:9-11,13-15,19-20,24,29 KJV

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 desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes. [11] When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge. [13] Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard. [14] A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath. [15] It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity. [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. [24] Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath. [29] A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the upright, he directeth his way.
