Proverbs 11:22-31

22 Like a gold ring in a swine's snout is a beautiful woman without discretion.

23 The desire of the righteous ends only in good; the expectation of the wicked in wrath.

24 One man gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.

25 A liberal man will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered.

26 The people curse him who holds back grain, but a blessing is on the head of him who sells it.

27 He who diligently seeks good seeks favor, but evil comes to him who searches for it.

28 He who trusts in his riches will wither, but the righteous will flourish like a green leaf.

29 He who troubles his household will inherit wind, and the fool will be servant to the wise.

30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, but lawlessness takes away lives.

31 If the righteous is requited on earth, how much more the wicked and the sinner!
