Proverbs 11:18-25

¹⁸An ungodly man performs unrighteous works: but the seed of the righteous is a reward of truth.

¹⁹A righteous son is born for life: but the persecution of the ungodly ends in death.

²⁰Perverse ways are an abomination to the Lord: but all they that are blameless in their ways are acceptable to him.

²¹He that unjustly strikes hands shall not be unpunished: but he that sows righteousness shall receive a faithful reward.

²²As an ornament in a swine's snout, so is beauty to an ill-minded woman.

²³All the desire of the righteous is good: but the hope of the ungodly shall perish.

²⁴There are some who scatter their own, and make it more: and there are some also who gather, yet have less.

²⁵Every sincere soul is blessed: but a passionate man is not graceful.
