Context of Proverbs 21:10
8The way of man is perverse and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right. 9It isbetter to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house. The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes. 11When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge. 12The righteousman wisely considereth the house of the wicked: but God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.
