Proverbs 11:20-22
Amplified Bible
20
The perverse in heart are repulsive and shamefully vile to the Lord,
But those who are blameless and above reproach in their walk are His delight!
21
Assuredly, the evil man will not go unpunished,
But the descendants of the righteous will be freed.
22
As a ring of gold in a swine’s snout,
So is a beautiful woman who is without discretion [her lack of character mocks her beauty].
Proverbs 11:20-22
New International Version
20 The Lord detests those whose hearts are perverse,(A)
but he delights(B) in those whose ways are blameless.(C)
21 Be sure of this: The wicked will not go unpunished,
but those who are righteous will go free.(D)
22 Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout
is a beautiful woman who shows no discretion.
