Proverbs 11:23

Proverbs Of Solomon

²² As a ring of gold in a swine’s snout
So is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion.
²³ The desire of the righteous is only good,
But the expectation of the wicked is wrath.
²⁴ There is one who scatters, and yet increases all the more,
And there is one who withholds what is justly due, and yet it results only in want.
