Proverbs

¹⁹He that is stedfast in righteousness shall attain unto life: and he that pursueth evil doeth it to his own death. ²⁰They that are perverse in heart are an abomination to the LORD: but such as are perfect in their way are his delight. ²¹Though hand join in hand, the evil man shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered. ²²As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which 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.
