Proverbs 11:17-22

¹⁷A kind person benefits himself, but one who is cruel hurts himself.

¹⁸The wicked person lies to get his wages, but one who sows what is right reaps the wages of truth.

¹⁹An honest person who does what is right will live, but the one who pursues evil will die.

²⁰Yahweh hates those whose hearts are perverse, but he delights in those whose ways are blameless.

²¹Be sure of this—the wicked person will not go unpunished, but the descendants of righteous people will be kept safe.

²²Like a gold ring in a pig's nose is a beautiful woman without discretion.
