Proverbs 11:20-30

²⁰An abomination of the Lord are those of a perverse heart; but his favor is for those who are unblemished in their way.

²¹The hand of God being against his hand, the bad man shall not go unpunished; but the seed of the righteous shall escape.

²²As a golden ring in a swine's snout, so is a handsome woman that hath thrown off discretion.

²³The desire of the righteous is only good: but the hope of the wicked is the wrath of God.

²⁴There is a man that scattereth gifts, and yet his wealth is increased: and there is one that withholdeth more than is proper, and still cometh only to want.

²⁵A beneficent soul will be abundantly gratified; and he that refresheth others will be also refreshed himself.

²⁶Him that withholdeth corn, the people will denounce; but blessing will be heaped upon the head of the one that selleth it.

²⁷He that diligently searcheth after good seeketh favor; but if one inquireth after evil, it will come unto him.

²⁸He that trusteth in his riches will surely fall; but the righteous shall grow like the leaves of a tree.

²⁹He that troubleth his own house will inherit the wind; and the fool will become the servant to the wise of heart.

³⁰The fruit of the righteous is of the tree of life, and the wise draweth souls to himself.
