Proverbs 11:18-31

18The wickedH7563 workethH6213 a deceitfulH8267 workH6468: but to him that sowethH2232 righteousnessH6666 shall be a sureH571 rewardH7938.

19As righteousnessH6666 tendeth to lifeH2416: so he that pursuethH7291 evilH7451 pursueth it to his own deathH4194.

20They that are of a perverseH6141 heartH3820 are abominationH8441 to YhwhH3068: but such as are uprightH8549 in their wayH1870 are his delightH7522.

21Though handH3027 join in handH3027, the wickedH7451 shall not be unpunishedH5352: but the seedH2233 of the righteousH6662 shall be deliveredH4422.

22As a jewelH5141 of goldH2091 in a swine’sH2386 snoutH639, so is a fairH3303 womanH802 which is withoutH5493 discretionH2940.1

23The desireH8378 of the righteousH6662 is only goodH2896: but the expectationH8615 of the wickedH7563 is wrathH5678.

24There isH3426 that scatterethH6340, and yet increasethH3254; and there is that withholdethH2820 more than is meetH3476, but it tendeth to povertyH4270.

25The liberalH1293 soulH5315 shall be made fatH1878: and he that waterethH7301 shall be wateredH3384 also himself.2

26He that withholdethH4513 wheatH1250, the peopleH3816 shall curseH5344 him: but blessingH1293 shall be upon the headH7218 of him that sellethH7666 it.

27He that diligently seekethH7836 goodH2896 procurethH1245 favourH7522: but he that seekethH1875 mischiefH7451, it shall comeH935 unto him.

28He that trustethH982 in his richesH6239 shall fallH5307: but the righteousH6662 shall flourishH6524 as a branchH5929.

29He that troublethH5916 his own houseH1004 shall inheritH5157 the windH7307: and the foolH191 shall be servantH5650 to the wiseH2450 of heartH3820.

30The fruitH6529 of the righteousH6662 is a treeH6086 of lifeH2416; and he that winnethH3947 soulsH5315 is wiseH2450.3

31Behold, the righteousH6662 shall be recompensedH7999 in the earthH776: much more the wickedH7563 and the sinnerH2398.
