Proverbs 11:22-24
Contemporary English Version

22 A beautiful woman
    who acts foolishly
is like a gold ring
    on the snout of a pig.
23 Good people want what is best,
but troublemakers
    hope to stir up trouble.[a]

24 Sometimes you can become rich
by being generous
    or poor by being greedy.
