Bible. Proverbs
20:011:020 They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD:
but such as are upright in their way are his delight.
20:011:021 Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished:
but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.
20:011:022 As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman
which is without discretion.
20:011:023 The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation
of the wicked is wrath.
20:011:024 There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is
that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.
20:011:025 The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall
be watered also himself.
20:011:026 He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but
blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.
20:011:027 He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that
seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.
20:011:028 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the righteous
shall flourish as a branch.
20:011:029 He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and
the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.
20:011:030 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that
winneth souls is wise.
20:011:031 Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much
more the wicked and the sinner.
20:012:001 Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth
reproof is brutish.
20:012:002 A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD: but a man of wicked
devices will he condemn.
20:012:003 A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of
the righteous shall not be moved.
20:012:004 A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that
maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.
20:012:005 The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of
the wicked are deceit.
20:012:006 The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the
mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
20:012:007 The wicked are overthrown, and are not: but the house of the
righteous shall stand.
20:012:008 A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that
is of a perverse heart shall be despised.
20:012:009 He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he
that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.
20:012:010 A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the
tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
20:012:011 He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he
that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.
20:012:012 The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the
righteous yieldeth fruit.
