Proverbs 11:18-31

¹⁸A wicked man maketh unstable work; but faithful meed is to him, that soweth rightfulness or rightwiseness.

¹⁹Mercy shall make ready life; and the pursuing or the following of evil, death.

²⁰A shrewd heart is abominable to the Lord; and his will is in them, that go simply.

²¹Though hand be in hand, an evil man shall not be innocent; but the seed of just or rightwise men shall be saved.

²²A golden ring in the nostrils of a sow, is a woman fair and a fool.

²³The desire of just or rightwise men is all good; abiding of wicked men is strong vengeance.

²⁴Some men part their own things, and be made richer; other men ravish things, that be not theirs, and they be ever in neediness.

²⁵A soul that blesseth, shall be made fat; and he that filleth, shall be filled also.

²⁶He that hideth wheat, shall be cursed among the peoples; but blessing shall come up on the heads of sellers.

²⁷Well be he who riseth early, that seeketh good things; but he that is a searcher of evils, shall be oppressed of those or of them.

²⁸He that trusteth in his riches, shall fall; but just or rightwise men shall burgeon as a green leaf.

²⁹He that troubleth his house, shall have winds in possession; and he that is a fool, shall serve a wise man.

³⁰The fruit of a rightful or rightwise man is the tree of life; and he that taketh souls, is a wise man.

³¹If a just or rightwise man receiveth in the earth, how much more an unfaithful man, and a sinner.
