    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.
