18. The wicked works a deceitful work,but to him who sows righteousness will be a sure reward.
19. As righteousness tends to life,so he who pursues evil pursues it to his own death.
20. Those who are of a perverse heart are abomination to the Lord,but such as are upright in their way are His delight.
21. Though be assured, the wicked will not be unpunished,but the posterity of the righteous will be delivered.
22. As a jewel of gold in a swine’s snout,so is a fair woman who is without discretion.
23. The desire of the righteous is only good,but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.
24. There is one who scatters, yet increases;and there is one who withholds more than is right, but it leads to poverty.
