19Rightly is righteousness for life, And whoso is pursuing evil — for his own death.
20An abomination to Jehovah are the perverse of heart, And the perfect of the way are His delight.
21Hand to hand, the wicked is not acquitted, And the seed of the righteous hath escaped.
22A ring of gold in the nose of a sow — A fair woman and stubborn of behaviour.
23The desire of the righteous is only good, The hope of the wicked is transgression.
24There is who is scattering, and yet is increased, And who is keeping back from uprightness, only to want.
25A liberal soul is made fat, And whoso is watering, he also is watered.
26Whoso is withholding corn, the people execrate him, And a blessing is for the head of him who is selling.
