Proverbs 11:22-24

New King James Version

²²As a ring of gold in a swine’s snout,
So is a lovely woman who lacks ^[a]discretion.

²³The desire of the righteous is only good,
But the expectation of the wicked ^(A)is wrath.

²⁴There is one who ^(B)scatters, yet increases more;
And there is one who withholds more than is right,
But it leads to poverty.

Proverbs 11:22-24

New International Version

²²Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout
is a beautiful woman who shows no discretion.

²³The desire of the righteous ends only in good,
but the hope of the wicked only in wrath.

²⁴One person gives freely, yet gains even more;
another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.
