19. Justice leads toward life,but pursuit of evil, toward death.
20. The crooked in heart are an abomination to the Lord,but those who walk blamelessly are his delight.
21. Be assured, the wicked shall not go unpunished,but the offspring of the just shall escape.
22. Like a golden ring in a swine’s snoutis a beautiful woman without judgment.
23. The desire of the just ends only in good;the expectation of the wicked is wrath.
24. One person is lavish yet grows still richer;another is too sparing, yet is the poorer.
25. Whoever confers benefits will be amply enriched,and whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.
26. Whoever hoards grain, the people curse,but blessings are on the head of one who distributes it!
