Proverbs 28:10

SCRIPTURE

"Whoso causeth the upright to go astray in an evil way, He shall fall himself into his own pit; But the perfect shall inherit good." — Proverbs 28:10 (ASV)

When the wicked succeed in tempting the righteous, Vice seems to win a triumph. But the triumph is suicidal. The tempter will suffer the punishment he deserves, and the blameless, if true to themselves, will be strengthened and ennobled by the temptation.
