Proverbs 11:21-30

²¹Hand in hand the evil man shall not be innocent: but the seed of the just shall be saved.

²²A golden ring in a swine’s snout, a woman fair and foolish.

²³The desire of the just is all good: the expectation of the wicked is indignation.

²⁴Some distribute their own goods, and grow richer: others take away what is not their own, and are always in want.

²⁵The soul which blesseth, shall be made fat: and he that inebriateth, shall be inebriated also himself.

²⁶He that hideth up corn, shall be cursed among the people: but a blessing upon the head of them that sell.

²⁷Well doth he rise early who seeketh good things; but he that seeketh after evil things shall be oppressed by them.

²⁸He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the just shall spring up as a green leaf.

²⁹He that troubleth his own house, shall inherit the winds: and the fool shall serve the wise.

³⁰The fruit of the just man is a tree of life: and he that gaineth souls, is wise.
