Proverbs 11:19-26

¹⁹So righteousness gives life; but he who goes after evil gets death for himself.

²⁰The uncontrolled are hated by the Lord, but those whose ways are without error are his delight

²¹Certainly the evil-doer will not go free from punishment, but the seed of the upright man will be safe.

²²Like a ring of gold in the nose of a pig, is a beautiful woman who has no sense.

²³The desire of the upright man is only for good, but wrath is waiting for the evil-doer.

²⁴A man may give freely, and still his wealth will be increased; and another may keep back more than is right, but only comes to be in need.

²⁵He who gives blessing will be made fat, but the curser will himself be cursed.

²⁶He who keeps back grain will be cursed by the people; but a blessing will be on the head of him who lets them have it for a price.
