20. An abomination to Jehovah [are] the perverse of heart, And the perfect of the way [are] His delight.
21. Hand to hand, the wicked is not acquitted, And the seed of the righteous hath escaped.
22. A ring of gold in the nose of a sow--A fair woman and stubborn of behaviour.
23. The desire of the righteous [is] only good, The hope of the wicked [is] transgression.
24. There is who is scattering, and yet is increased, And who is keeping back from uprightness, only to want.
25. A liberal soul is made fat, And whoso is watering, he also is watered.
26. Whoso is withholding corn, the people execrate him, And a blessing [is] for the head of him who is selling.
27. Whoso is earnestly seeking good Seeketh a pleasing thing, And whoso is seeking evil--it meeteth him.
28. Whoso is confident in his wealth he falleth, And as a leaf, the righteous flourish.
29. Whoso is troubling his own house inheriteth wind, And a servant [is] the fool to the wise of heart.
30. The fruit of the righteous [is] a tree of life, And whoso is taking souls [is] wise.
31. Lo, the righteous in the earth is recompensed, Surely also the wicked and the sinner!
