Proverbs 11:20-22
New Catholic Bible
20 Those with perverse hearts are abhorrent to the Lord,
but those whose ways are blameless are dear to him.
21 You need have no fear that the wicked will not be punished,
but those who are righteous will escape harm.
22 Like a ring of gold[a] in a pig’s snout
is a beautiful woman without good sense.
