20
They that are perverse in heart are an abomination to Jehovah; But such as are perfect in [their] way are his delight.
21
[Though] hand [join] in hand, the evil man shall not be unpunished; But the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.
22
[As] a ring of gold in a swine's snout, [So is] a fair woman that is without discretion.
23
The desire of the righteous is only good; [But] the expectation of the wicked is wrath.
24
There is that scattereth, and increaseth yet more; And there is that withholdeth more than is meet, 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 grain, the people shall curse him; But blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.
27
He that diligently seeketh good seeketh favor; But he that searcheth after evil, it shall come unto him.
28
He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; But the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf.
29
He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind; And the foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart.
30
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; And he that is wise winneth souls.
