22 Like a gold ring in a pig’s noseis a beautiful woman who lacks discretion.
23 The desires of the righteous end up well,but the expectations of the wicked bring wrath.
24 Those who give generously receive more,but those who are stingy with what is appropriate will grow needy.
25 Generous persons will prosper;those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.
26 People curse those who hoard grain,but they bless those who sell it.
27 Those who look for good find favor,but those who seek evil—it will come to them.
28 Those who trust in their wealth will wither,but the righteous will thrive like leafy trees.
