Proverbs 11:21-30
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 11

21 Be assured, the evil person will not go unpunished, But the descendants of the righteous will be rescued. 22 As a ring of gold in a pig’s snout So is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion. 23The desire of the righteous is only good, But the expectation of the wicked is wrath. 24There is one who scatters, and yet increases all the more, And there is one who withholds what is justly due, and yet it results only in poverty. 25A generous person will be prosperous, And one who gives others plenty of water will himself be given plenty. 26One who withholds grain, the people will curse him, But blessing will be on the head of him who sells it. 27One who diligently seeks good seeks favor, But one who seeks evil, evil will come to him. 28One who trusts in his riches will fall, But the righteous will flourish like the green leaf. 29One who troubles his own house will inherit wind, And the foolish will be servant to the wise-hearted. 30The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And one who is wise gains souls.
King James Version

Chapter 11

21Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.
22As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.
23The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.
24There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.
25The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.
26He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.
27He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.
28He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.
29He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.
30The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 11

21Be assured that a wicked person will not go unpunished, but the offspring of the righteous will escape.
22A beautiful woman who rejects good sense is like a gold ring in a pig’s snout.
23The desire of the righteous turns out well, but the hope of the wicked leads to wrath.
24One person gives freely, yet gains more; another withholds what is right, only to become poor.
25A generous person will be enriched, and the one who gives a drink of water will receive water.
26People will curse anyone who hoards grain, but a blessing will come to the one who sells it.
27The one who searches for what is good seeks favor, but if someone looks for trouble, it will come to him.
28Anyone trusting in his riches will fall, but the righteous will flourish like foliage.
29The one who brings ruin on his household will inherit the wind, and a fool will be a slave to someone whose heart is wise.
30The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and a wise person captivates people.
New Living Translation

Chapter 11

21Evil people will surely be punished, but the children of the godly will go free.
22A beautiful woman who lacks discretion is like a gold ring in a pig’s snout.
23The godly can look forward to a reward, while the wicked can expect only judgment.
24Give freely and become more wealthy; be stingy and lose everything.
25The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.
26People curse those who hoard their grain, but they bless the one who sells in time of need.
27If you search for good, you will find favor; but if you search for evil, it will find you!
28Trust in your money and down you go! But the godly flourish like leaves in spring.
29Those who bring trouble on their families inherit the wind. The fool will be a servant to the wise.
30The seeds of good deeds become a tree of life; a wise person wins friends.
English Standard Version

Chapter 11

21 Be assured, an evil person will not go unpunished, but the offspring of the righteous will be delivered. 22Like a gold ring in a pig 's snout is a beautiful woman without discretion. 23The desire of the righteous ends only in good, the expectation of the wicked in wrath. 24 One gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want. 25 Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered. 26 The people curse him who holds back grain, but a blessing is on the head of him who sells it. 27Whoever diligently seeks good seeks favor, but evil comes to him who searches for it. 28Whoever trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will flourish like a green leaf. 29Whoever troubles his own household will inherit the wind, and the fool will be servant to the wise of heart. 30The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and whoever captures souls is wise.
New International Version

Chapter 11

21Be sure of this: The wicked will not go unpunished, but those who are righteous will go free.
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.
25A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.
26People curse the one who hoards grain, but they pray God’s blessing on the one who is willing to sell.
27Whoever seeks good finds favor, but evil comes to one who searches for it.
28Those who trust in their riches will fall, but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf.
29Whoever brings ruin on their family will inherit only wind, and the fool will be servant to the wise.
30The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and the one who is wise saves lives.
New King James Version

Chapter 11

21 Though they join forces, the wicked will not go unpunished; But the posterity of the righteous will be delivered. 22 As a ring of gold in a swine’s snout, So is a lovely woman who lacks discretion. 23The desire of the righteous is only good, But the expectation of the wicked is wrath. 24There is one who scatters, yet increases more; And there is one who withholds more than is right, But it leads to poverty. 25 The generous soul will be made rich, And he who waters will also be watered himself. 26The people will curse him who withholds grain, But blessing will be on the head of him who sells it. 27He who earnestly seeks good finds favor, But trouble will come to him who seeks evil. 28 He who trusts in his riches will fall, But the righteous will flourish like foliage. 29He who troubles his own house will inherit the wind, And the fool will be servant to the wise of heart. 30The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And he who wins souls is wise.
