²² As a ^(A)ring of gold in a swine’s snout
So is a beautiful woman who turns away from ^[a]discretion.
²³ The desire of the righteous is only good,
But the ^(B)hope of the wicked is wrath.
²⁴ There is one who scatters, and yet increases all the more,
And there is one who holds back what is rightly due, and yet results only in want.
