17 Kindly people benefit themselves,but the merciless harm themselves.
18 The wicked make empty profits,but those who sow justice have a sure reward.
19 Justice leads toward life,but pursuit of evil, toward death.
20 The crooked in heart are an abomination to the Lord,but those who walk blamelessly are his delight.
21 Be assured, the wicked shall not go unpunished,but the offspring of the just shall escape.
22 Like a golden ring in a swine’s snoutis a beautiful woman without judgment.
23 The desire of the just ends only in good;the expectation of the wicked is wrath.
