Proverbs 11:20-22

International Children’s Bible

²⁰The Lord hates those with evil hearts.
But he is pleased with those who are innocent.

²¹You can be sure that evil people will be punished.
But those who do what is right will not be punished.

²²A beautiful woman without good sense
is like a gold ring in a pig’s snout.

Proverbs 11:20-22

New International Version

²⁰The Lord detests those whose hearts are perverse,^(A)
but he delights^(B) in those whose ways are blameless.^(C)

²¹Be sure of this: The wicked will not go unpunished,
but those who are righteous will go free.^(D)

²²Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout
is a beautiful woman who shows no discretion.

²⁰They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the Lord: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.

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.
