Proverbs 11:24

Raushet og gavmildhet Penger og rikdom

²² Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion.

²³ The desire of the righteous leads only to good, but the hope of the wicked brings wrath.

One gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds what is right, only to become poor.

²⁵ A generous soul will prosper, and he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.

²⁶ The people will curse the hoarder of grain, but blessing will crown the one who sells it.
