Proverbs 11:19-28
Surely right living leads to life.
But whoever runs after evil finds death.
The Lord hates those whose hearts are twisted.
But he is pleased with those who live without blame.
You can be sure that sinners will be punished.
And you can also be sure that godly people will go free.
A beautiful woman who has no sense
is like a gold ring in a pig’s nose.
What godly people long for ends only in what is good.
But what sinners hope for ends only in God’s anger.
One person gives freely but gets even richer.
Another person doesn’t give what they should but gets even poorer.
Anyone who gives a lot will succeed.
Anyone who renews others will be renewed.
People ask for bad things to happen to those who store up grain for themselves.
But people ask for God’s blessing on those who are willing to sell.
Anyone who looks for what is good will be blessed.
But bad things will happen to a person who plans to do evil.
Those who trust in their riches will fall.
But those who do right will be as healthy as a green leaf.
