Proverbs 11:19-29

19 He who is steadfast in righteousness [is] to life as he who pursues evil [is] to death.
20 An abomination of Yahweh [are] the {crooked of heart}, but his delight [are] {those with blameless ways}.
21 {Rest assured}, the wicked will not go unpunished, but the offspring of the righteous will escape.
22 A ring of gold in [the] snout of a pig [is] a woman [who is] beautiful but without discretion.
23 The desire of the righteous [is] only good, but the expectation of the wicked, wrath.
24 There is one who gives yet {grows richer}, but he who withholds {what is right} only [finds] need.
25 A person of blessing will be enriched, and he who gives water also will be refreshed.
26 He who withholds grain, the people curse him, but a blessing [is] for the head of him who sells.
27 He who diligently seeks good seeks favor, but he who inquires of evil, it will come to him.
28 He who trusts in his wealth [is] he who will fall, but like a green leaf the righteous will flourish.
29 He who brings trouble [to] his household, he will inherit wind, and a fool will serve the wise of heart.
