Proverbs 21:16
World English Bible (WEB)
The man who wanders out of the way of understanding shall rest in the assembly of the departed spirits.
In context
14 A gift in secret pacifies anger, and a bribe in the cloak, strong wrath.
15 It is joy to the righteous to do justice; but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.
16 The man who wanders out of the way of understanding shall rest in the assembly of the departed spirits.
17 He who loves pleasure will be a poor man. He who loves wine and oil won’t be rich.
