Proverbs 11:18-31

18The wickedH7563 earneth deceitfulH8267 wagesH6468: but he that soweth righteousnessH6666 hath a sure rewardH6468. 19He that is stedfast in righteousnessH6666 shall attain unto lifeH2416: and he that pursueth evilH7451 doeth it to his own deathH4194. 20They that are perverseH6141 in heartH3820 are an abominationH8441 to the LORDH3068: but such as are perfectH8549 in their wayH1870 are his delightH7522. 21Though handH3027 join in handH3027, the evilH7451 manH6662 shall notH3808 be unpunishedH5352: but the seedH2233 of the righteousH6662 shall be deliveredH4422. 22As a jewel of goldH2091 in a swine’sH2386 snoutH639, soH5493 is a fairH3303 womanH802 whichH802 is without discretionH2940. 23The desireH8378 of the righteousH6662 is onlyH389 goodH2896: but the expectation of the wickedH7563 is wrathH5678. 24There is that scattereth, and increaseth yet moreH5750; and there is that withholdeth moreH5750 thanH3254 is meet, but it tendeth onlyH389 to wantH4270. 25The liberal soulH5315 shall be madeH1571 fatH1878: and he that watereth shall be watered also himselfH1931. 26He that withholdeth corn, the peopleH3816 shall curse him: but blessingH1293 shall be upon the headH7218 of him that selleth it. 27He that diligentlyH7836 seeketh goodH2896 seeketh favour: but he that searcheth afterH1875 mischief, it shall comeH935 unto him. 28He that trusteth in his richesH6239 shall fallH5307: but the righteousH6662 shall flourish as the green leafH5929. 29He that troubleth his ownH5157 houseH1004 shall inheritH5157 the windH7307: and the foolishH191 shall be servantH5650 to the wiseH2450 of heartH3820. 30The fruitH6529 of the righteousH6662 is a treeH6086 of lifeH5315; and he that is wiseH2450 winneth soulsH5315. 31BeholdH2005, the righteousH6662 shall be recompensed in the earthH776: howH637 muchH637 moreH637 the wickedH7563 and the sinnerH2398!
