19
As righteousness [tendeth] to life, so he that pursueth evil [doeth it] to his own death.
20
The perverse in heart are abomination to Jehovah; but they that are perfect in [their] way are his delight.
21
Hand for hand! an evil [man] shall not be held innocent; but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.
22
A fair woman who is without discretion, is [as] a gold ring in a swine's snout.
23
The desire of the righteous is only good; the expectation of the wicked is wrath.
24
There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is right, but [it tendeth] only to want.
25
The liberal soul shall be made fat, and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.
26
He that withholdeth corn, the people curse him; but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.
27
He that is earnest after good seeketh favour; but he that searcheth for mischief, it shall come upon him.
28
He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as a leaf.
29
He that troubleth his own house shall inherit wind; and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.
