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 ring of gold in a swine`s snout, [So is] a fair woman that is without discretion.

23The desire of the righteous is only good; [But] the expectation of the wicked is wrath.

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

25The liberal soul shall be made fat; And he that watereth shall be watered also himself.

26He that withholdeth grain, the people shall curse him; But blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.

27He that diligently seeketh good seeketh favor; But he that searcheth after evil, it shall come unto him.
