Proverbs 12:1-3
Contemporary English Version

You Can't Hide behind Evil

12 (A) To accept correction is wise,
    to reject it is stupid.
2 The Lord likes everyone
    who lives right,
but he punishes everyone
    who makes evil plans.
3 Sin cannot offer security!
    But if you live right,
you will be as secure
    as a tree with deep roots.
