Proverbs 11:18-26

¹⁸The wicked maketh an unsteady work: but to him that soweth justice, there is a faithful reward.

¹⁹Clemency prepareth life: and the pursuing of evil things, death.

²⁰A perverse heart is abominable to the Lord: and his will is in them that walk sincerely.

²¹Hand in hand the evil man shall not be innocent: but the seed of the just shall be saved.

²²A golden ring in a swine’s snout, a woman fair and foolish.

²³The desire of the just is all good: the expectation of the wicked is indignation.

²⁴Some distribute their own goods, and grow richer: others take away what is not their own, and are always in want.

²⁵The soul which blesseth, shall be made fat: and he that inebriateth, shall be inebriated also himself.

²⁶He that hideth up corn, shall be cursed among the people: but a blessing upon the head of them that sell.
