English Standard Version
Proverbs 11:18-23
English Standard Version
18 The wicked earns deceptive wages,
but one who (A)sows righteousness gets a sure reward.
19 Whoever is steadfast in righteousness (B)will live,
but (C)he who pursues evil will die.
20 Those of (D)crooked heart are (E)an abomination to the Lord,
but those of (F)blameless ways are (G)his delight.
21 (H)Be assured, (I)an evil person will not go unpunished,
but (J)the offspring of the righteous will be delivered.
22 Like (K)a gold ring in a pig's snout
is a beautiful woman without discretion.
23 The desire of the righteous ends only in good,
(L)the expectation of the wicked in wrath.

but he delights(E) in those whose ways are blameless.(F)
