Proverbs 11:23

Proverbs Of Solomon

²² As a ring of gold in a swine's snout,'so is a fair woman that is without discretion. ²³ The desire of the righteous is only good; But the expectation of the wicked is wrath. ²⁴ There is that scattereth, and increaseth yet more; And there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth only to want.
