Proverbs 11:20-22
New King James Version
20 Those who are of a perverse heart are an abomination to the Lord,
But the blameless in their ways are His delight.
21 (A)Though they join [a]forces, the wicked will not go unpunished;
But (B)the posterity of the righteous will be delivered.
22 As a ring of gold in a swine’s snout,
So is a lovely woman who lacks [b]discretion.
