18. The wicked earn false wages,but those who sow righteousness receive a true reward.
19. The righteous are headed toward life,but those who pursue evil, toward death.
20. The Lord detests a crooked heart,but he favors those whose path is innocent.
21. The evil person will surely not go unpunished,but the children of the righteous will escape.
22. Like a gold ring in a pig’s noseis a beautiful woman who lacks discretion.
23. The desires of the righteous end up well,but the expectations of the wicked bring wrath.
