Proverbs 11:20-22
Wycliffe Bible
20 A shrewd heart is abominable to the Lord; and his will is in them, that go simply. (A depraved heart is abominable to the Lord; but his delight is in those who do things honestly, or with integrity.)
21 Though hand be in hand, an evil man shall not be innocent; but the seed of just men shall be saved. (Be assured, that the evil shall be punished; but the children, or the descendants, of the righteous shall be saved.)
22 A golden ring in the nostrils of a sow, (is like) a woman fair and fool. (A gold ring in the nostrils of a pig, is like a woman who is comely, but foolish.)

Proverbs 11:20-22
New International Version
20 The Lord detests those whose hearts are perverse,(A)
but he delights(B) in those whose ways are blameless.(C)
21 Be sure of this: The wicked will not go unpunished,
but those who are righteous will go free.(D)
22 Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout
is a beautiful woman who shows no discretion.
