Proverbs 11:20-22
American Standard Version
20 They that are perverse in heart are an abomination to Jehovah;
But such as are perfect in their way are his delight.
21 [a]Though hand join in hand, the evil man shall not be unpunished;
But the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.
22 As a ring of gold in a swine’s snout,
So is a fair woman that [b]is without discretion.
