Proverbs 21:7-9
The Message

7 The wicked get buried alive by their loot
    because they refuse to use it to help others.

8 Mixed motives twist life into tangles;
    pure motives take you straight down the road.

Do Your Best, Prepare for the Worst

9 Better to live alone in a tumbledown shack
    than share a mansion with a nagging spouse.
