Proverbs 11:16-22

¹⁶A woman endowed with grace will surely obtain honor; and the powerful will obtain riches.

¹⁷The man of kindness doth good to his own soul; but he that troubleth his own flesh is cruel.

¹⁸The wicked practiseth a work of falsehood; but he that soweth righteousness obtaineth the reward of truth.

¹⁹He who is firm in righteousness attaineth to life: and he that pursueth evil doth it to his own death.

²⁰An abomination of the Lord are those of a perverse heart; but his favor is for those who are unblemished in their way.

²¹The hand of God being against his hand, the bad man shall not go unpunished; but the seed of the righteous shall escape.

²²As a golden ring in a swine's snout, so is a handsome woman that hath thrown off discretion.
