Proverbs [Sayings] 11:20-30

²⁰Those who are perverse in heart are an abomination to Adonai , but those whose ways are blameless are his delight.

²¹Most certainly, the evil man will not be unpunished, but the offspring of the upright will be delivered.

²²Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout, is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion.

²³The desire of the upright is only good. The expectation of the wicked is wrath.

²⁴There is one who scatters, and increases yet more. There is one who withholds more than is appropriate, but gains poverty.

²⁵The liberal soul shall be made fat. He who waters shall be watered also himself.

²⁶People curse someone who withholds grain, but blessing will be on the head of him who sells it.

²⁷He who diligently seeks good seeks favor, but he who searches after evil, it shall come to him.

²⁸He who trusts in his riches will fall, but the upright shall flourish as the green leaf.

²⁹He who troubles his own house shall inherit the wind. The foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart.

³⁰The fruit of the upright is a tree of life. He who is wise wins souls.
