Proverbs 11:21 Context
19As righteousnesse tendeth to life: so he that pursueth euill, pursueth it to his owne death. 20They that are of a froward heart, are abomination to the Lord: but such as are vpright in their way, are his delight. 21Though hand ioyne in hand, the wicked shall not be vnpunished: but the seede of the righteous shall be deliuered. 22As a iewell of golde in a swines snowt; so is a faire woman which is without discretion. 23The desire of the righteous is onely good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.
