Proverbs 11:19-31 English Revised Version (ERV)

19. He that is stedfast in righteousness shall attain unto life: and he that pursueth evil doeth it to his own death.

20. They that are perverse in heart are an abomination to the LORD: but such as are perfect in their way are his delight.

21. Though hand join in hand, the evil man shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.

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

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

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

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

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

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

28. He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf.

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

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

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