Proverbs
Chapters 11:18-24
New International Version Anglicized
18A wicked person earns deceptive wages,but the one who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward.
19Truly the righteous attain life,but whoever pursues evil finds death.
20The Lord detests those whose hearts are perverse,but he delights in those whose ways are blameless.
21Be sure of this: the wicked will not go unpunished,but those who are righteous will go free.
22Like a gold ring in a pig’s snoutis a beautiful woman who shows no discretion.
23The desire of the righteous ends only in good,but the hope of the wicked only in wrath.
24One person gives freely, yet gains even more;another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.
