Proverbs 11:22–31

22  As fa jewel of gold in a swine’s snout,

So is a fair woman which †is without ffdiscretion.

23  The desire of the righteous is only good:

But the expectation of the wicked is gwrath.

24  ggThere is that hscattereth, and yet increaseth;

And there is that withholdeth more than is meet, ibut it tendeth to poverty.

25  j†The liberal soul kshall be made fat:

And kkhe that watereth shall be watered also himself.

26  He that withholdeth corn, lthe people shall curse him:

But blessing shall be upon the head of him that llselleth it.

27  He that mdiligently seeketh good procureth favour:

But nhe that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.

28  oHe that trusteth in his riches shall fall:

But the righteous shall pflourish as qa branch.

29  He that troubleth his own house rshall inherit the wind:

And the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.

30  qThe fruit of the righteous is a stree of life;

And the that †winneth souls is wise.

31  uBehold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth:

Much more the wicked and the sinner.
