Proverbs 11:17-31 - ESV - A man who is kind benefits himself, but a cruel...

17 ¹A man who is kind benefits himself, but a cruel man hurts himself.

18 The wicked earns deceptive wages, but one who ²sows righteousness gets a sure reward.

19 Whoever is steadfast in righteousness ³will live, but ⁴he who pursues evil will die.

20 Those of ⁵crooked heart are ⁶an abomination to the LORD, but those of ⁷blameless ways are ⁸his delight.

21 ⁹Be assured, ¹⁰an evil person will not go unpunished, but ¹¹the offspring of the righteous will be delivered.

22 Like ¹²a gold ring in a pig's snout is a beautiful woman without discretion.

23 The desire of the righteous ends only in good; ¹³the expectation of the wicked in wrath.

24 ¹⁴One gives ¹⁵freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.

25 ¹⁶Whoever brings blessing ¹⁷will be enriched, and ¹⁸one who waters will himself be watered.

26 ¹⁹The people curse him who holds back grain, but ²⁰a blessing is on the head of him who ²¹sells it.

27 Whoever diligently seeks good seeks favor,^a but evil comes to ²²him who searches for it.

28 Whoever ²³trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will ²⁴flourish like a green leaf.

29 Whoever ²⁵troubles his own household will ²⁶inherit the wind, and the fool will be servant to the wise of heart.

30 The fruit of the righteous is ²⁷a tree of life, and whoever ²⁸captures souls is wise.

31 If ²⁹the righteous is repaid on earth, how much more the wicked and the sinner!
