Proverbs 11:23


Proverbs 11:22 Proverbs 11:23 (KJV) Proverbs 11:24
[As] a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, [so is] a fair woman which is without discretion.
The desire of the righteous [is] only good: [but] the expectation of the wicked [is] wrath.
There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and [there is] that withholdeth more than is meet, but [it tendeth] to poverty.
