but the seed of the righteous will be delivered. 011:022 Like a gold ring in a pig's snout, is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion. 011:023 The desire of the righteous is only good. The expectation of the wicked is wrath. 011:024 There is one who scatters, and increases yet more. There is one who withholds more than is appropriate, but gains poverty. 011:025 The liberal soul shall be made fat. He who waters shall be watered also himself. 011:026 People curse someone who withholds grain, but blessing will be on the head of him who sells it. 011:027 He who diligently seeks good seeks favor, but he who searches after evil, it shall come to him. 011:028 He who trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf. 011:029 He who troubles his own house shall inherit the wind. The foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart. 011:030 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life. He who is wise wins souls. 011:031 Behold, the righteous shall be repaid in the earth; how much more the wicked and the sinner! 012:001 Whoever loves correction loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid. 012:002 A good man shall obtain favor from Yahweh, but he will condemn a man of wicked devices. 012:003 A man shall not be established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous shall not be moved. 012:004 A worthy woman is the crown of her husband, but a disgraceful wife is as rottenness in his bones. 012:005 The thoughts of the righteous are just, but the advice of the wicked is deceitful. 012:006 The words of the wicked are about lying in wait for blood, but the speech of the upright rescues them. 012:007 The wicked are overthrown, and are no more, but the house of the righteous shall stand. 012:008 A man shall be commended according to his wisdom, but he who has a warped mind shall be despised. 012:009 Better is he who is lightly esteemed, and has a servant, than he who honors himself, and lacks bread. 012:010 A righteous man regards the life of his animal, but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel. 012:011 He who tills his land shall have plenty of bread, but he who chases fantasies is void of understanding. 012:012 The wicked desires the plunder of evil men, but the root of the righteous flourishes. 012:013 An evil man is trapped by sinfulness of lips, but the righteous shall come out of trouble. 012:014 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth. The work of a man's hands shall be rewarded to him. 012:015 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he who is wise listens to counsel. 012:016 A fool shows his annoyance the same day, but one who overlooks an insult is prudent. 012:017 He who is truthful testifies honestly, but a false witness lies.
