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.
26May he that hoards corn leave it to the nation: But blessing be on the head of him that gives it.
27He that devises good counsels seeks good favor: But as for him that seeks after evil, evil shall overtake him.
28He that trusts in wealth shall fall; But he that helps righteous men shall rise.
29He that deals not graciously with his own house shall inherit the wind; And the fool shall be servant to the wise man.
