The Message
Proverbs 21:18-20
The Message
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 wild
than with a cross and petulant spouse.
20 Valuables are safe in a wise person’s home;
fools put it all out for yard sales.
Proverbs 21:18-20
New International Version
Proverbs 21:18-20
New International Version
18 The wicked become a ransom(A) for the righteous,
and the unfaithful for the upright.
19 Better to live in a desert
than with a quarrelsome and nagging wife.(B)
20 The wise store up choice food and olive oil,
but fools gulp theirs down.
The Message (MSG)
