Proverbs 21:16-22 The Message (MSG)

16. Whoever wanders off the straight and narrowends up in a congregation of ghosts.

17. You’re addicted to thrills? What an empty life!The pursuit of pleasure is never satisfied.

18. What a bad person plots against the good, boomerangs;the plotter gets it in the end.

19. Better to live in a tent in the wildthan with a cross and petulant spouse.

20. Valuables are safe in a wise person’s home;fools put it all out for yard sales.

21. Whoever goes hunting for what is right and kindfinds life itself—glorious life!

22. One sage entered a whole city of armed soldiers—their trusted defenses fell to pieces!
