Proverbs 21:16 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 21:16

Compare all

14 A gift in secret pacifies anger,
And a bribe¹ behind the back, strong wrath.

15 It is a joy for the just to do justice,
But destruction will come to the workers of iniquity.

16 A man who wanders from the way of understanding
Will rest in the assembly of the ^adead.

17 He who loves pleasure will be a poor man;
He who loves wine and oil will not be rich.

18 The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous,
And the unfaithful for the upright.
