20Yahweh hates those whose hearts are perverse, but he delights in those whose ways are blameless.
21Be sure of this—the wicked person will not go unpunished, but the descendants of righteous people will be kept safe.
22Like a gold ring in a pig's nose is a beautiful woman without discretion.
23The desires of righteous people result in good, but wicked people can only hope for wrath.
24There is one who scatters—he will accumulate even more; another withholds what he should give—he comes to poverty.
25The generous person will prosper and the one who gives water to others will have water for himself.
