21 You can be sure that sinners will be punished. And you can also be sure that godly people will go free.
22 A beautiful woman who has no sense is like a gold ring in a pig's nose.
23 What godly people long for ends only in what is good. But what sinners hope for ends only in God's anger.
24 Some give freely but get even richer. Others don't give what they should but get even poorer.
25 Anyone who gives a lot will succeed. Anyone who renews others will be renewed.
26 People call down curses on those who store up grain for themselves. But blessing makes those who are willing to sell feel like kings.
27 Anyone who looks for what is good finds favor. But bad things happen to a person who plans to do evil.
