Wicked Guilty

7

The violence of the wicked sweeps them away,
because they refuse to do what is just.

8

The guilty walk a crooked path;
the innocent travel a straight road.

9

It’s better to live alone in the corner of an attic
than with a quarrelsome wife in a lovely home.

Verse 7

Many evil people love to be cruel. They use cruelty to get money. They use cruelty to control other people.

But evil people will also suffer in the end. Evil people will receive a severe punishment.

Verse 8

Life is like a journey. A guilty person is like a traveller who chooses the wrong path. A guilty person’s actions may cause his death. His actions may take him to hell. So he needs to confess his evil deeds to God.

But an innocent person is like a traveller who chooses the right path. This innocent person has chosen to live his life in God’s way. And God will guide him. See Psalm 1.

Verse 9

The corner of a roof is not a comfortable place to live. But it is better than a big house, if the man’s wife argues. This man escapes to his roof.

This Verse remains true if you replace "woman" with "spouse." If the person you’re thinking of marrying is argumentative, consider it a serious warning. Bad habits, like being argumentative, are unlikely to change after marriage.

Think about this: Being argumentative, spiteful, negative, and mean can easily become habits. Not being a “morning person” is no excuse for being rude and disagreeable. Ask the Holy Spirit for joy, peace, and love, so that when you talk to others, they can see God’s goodness shining through you.
