Proverbs 11:18-28

¹⁸The wicked worketh a deceitful worke: but hee that soweth righteousnes, shall receiue a sure rewarde.

¹⁹As righteousnes leadeth to life: so hee that followeth euill, seeketh his owne death.

²⁰They that are of a froward heart, are abomination to the Lord: but they that are vpright in their way, are his delite.

²¹Though hande ioyne in hande, the wicked shall not be vnpunished: but the seede of the righteous shall escape.

²²As a iewell of golde in a swines snoute: so is a faire woman, which lacketh discretion.

²³The desire of the righteous is onely good: but the hope of the wicked is indignation.

²⁴There is that scattereth, and is more increased: but hee that spareth more then is right, surely commeth to pouertie.

²⁵The liberall person shall haue plentie: and he that watereth, shall also haue raine.

²⁶He that withdraweth the corne, the people will curse him: but blessing shalbe vpon the head of him that selleth corne.

²⁷He that seeketh good things, getteth fauour: but he that seeketh euill, it shall come to him.

²⁸He that trusteth in his riches, shall fall: but the righteous shall florish as a leafe.
