Proverbs 11:18-31

18The wicked earneth deceitful wages: but he that soweth righteousness hath a sure reward. 19He that is stedfast in righteousness shall attain unto life: and he that pursueth evil doeth it to his own death. 20They that are perverse in heart are an abomination to the LORD: but such as are perfect in their way are his delight. 21Though hand join in hand, the evil man shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered. 22As a jewel of gold in a swine’s snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion. 23The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath. 24There is that scattereth, and increaseth yet more; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth only to want. 25The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. 26He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it. 27He that diligently seeketh good seeketh favour: but he that searcheth after mischief, it shall come unto him. 28He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf. 29He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart. 30The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that is wise winneth souls. 31Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: how much more the wicked and the sinner!
