Proverbs 11:22-24
American Standard Version
22 As a ring of gold in a swine’s snout,
So is a fair woman that [a]is without discretion.
23 The desire of the righteous is only good;
But the expectation of the wicked is [b]wrath.
24 There is that scattereth, and increaseth yet more;
And there is that withholdeth [c]more than is meet, but it tendeth only to want.

Proverbs 11:22-24
New International Version
22 Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout
is a beautiful woman who shows no discretion.
23 The desire of the righteous ends only in good,
but the hope of the wicked only in wrath.
24 One person gives freely, yet gains even more;
another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.
