Proverbs 11:20-30

²⁰Perverse ways are an abomination to the Lord: But all they that are blameless in their ways are acceptable to him.

²¹He that unjustly strikes hands shall not be unpunished: But he that sows righteousness shall receive a faithful reward.

²²As an ornament in a swine’s snout, So is beauty to an ill-minded woman.

²³All the desire of the righteous is good: But the hope of the ungodly shall perish.

²⁴There are some who scatter their own, and make it more: And there are some also who gather, yet have less.

²⁵Every sincere soul is blessed: But a passionate man is not graceful.

²⁶May he that hoards corn leave it to the nation: But blessing be on the head of him that gives it.

²⁷He that devises good counsels seeks good favor: But as for him that seeks after evil, evil shall overtake him.

²⁸He that trusts in wealth shall fall; But he that helps righteous men shall rise.

²⁹He that deals not graciously with his own house shall inherit the wind; And the fool shall be servant to the wise man.

³⁰Out of the fruit of righteousness grows a tree of life; But the souls of transgressors are cut off before their time.
