Proverbs

²¹Though hand join in hand, the evil man shall not be unpunished; But the seed of the righteous shall be delivered. ²²As a ring of gold in a swine’s snout, So is a fair woman that is without discretion. ²³The desire of the righteous is only good; But the expectation of the wicked is wrath. ²⁴There is that scattereth, and increaseth yet more; And there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth only to want. ²⁵The liberal soul shall be made fat; And he that watereth shall be watered also himself. ²⁶He that withholdeth grain, the people shall curse him; But blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it. ²⁷He that diligently seeketh good seeketh favor; But he that searcheth after evil, it shall come unto him.
