When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
12 ১২ যি জনে সৎ কাৰ্য কৰে, তেওঁ দুষ্ট লোকৰ ঘৰ পৰ্যবেক্ষণ কৰে; তেওঁ দুষ্ট লোকলৈ সৰ্ব্বনাশ কঢ়িয়াই আনে।
The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked: but God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.
