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.
