Proverbs 11:22-31 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

22. A golden ring in a swine's snout, a woman fair and foolish.

23. The desire of the just is all good: the expectation of the wicked is indignation.

24. Some distribute their own goods, and grow richer: others take away what is not their own, and are always in want.

25. The soul which blesseth, shall be made fat: and he that inebriateth, shall be inebriated also himself.

26. He that hideth up corn, shall be cursed among the people: but a blessing upon the head of them that sell.

27. Well doth he rise early who seeketh good things; but he that seeketh after evil things shall be oppressed by them.

28. He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the just shall spring up as a green leaf.

29. He that troubleth his own house, shall inherit the winds: and the fool shall serve the wise.

30. The fruit of the just man is a tree of life: and he that gaineth souls, is wise.

31. If the just man receive in the earth, how much more the wicked and the sinner.
