Proverbs 11:21-31

²¹My hand upon it! the evil man shall not be unpunished; but the seed of the righteous shall escape.

²²As a ring of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman that turneth aside from discretion.

²³The desire of the righteous is only good; but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.

²⁴There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth only to want.

²⁵The beneficent soul shall be made rich, and he that satisfieth abundantly shall be satisfied also himself.

²⁶He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him; but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.

²⁷He that diligently seeketh good seeketh favour; but he that searcheth for evil, it shall come unto him.

²⁸He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as foliage.

²⁹He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind; and the foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart.

³⁰The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that is wise winneth souls.

³¹Behold, the righteous shall be requited in the earth; how much more the wicked and the sinner!
