Proverbs 11:22-31

1. 22 As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.

2. 23 The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.

3. 24 There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.

4. 25 The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.

5. 26 He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.

6. 27 He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.

7. 28 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.

8. 29 He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.

9. 30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.

10. 31 Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner.
