Proverbs 11:23

Proverbs Of Solomon

²² A beautiful woman who rejects good sense
is like a gold ring in a pig’s snout. ²³ The desire of the righteous turns out well,
but the hope of the wicked leads to wrath. ²⁴ One person gives freely,
yet gains more;
another withholds what is right,
only to become poor.
