20 An abomination to Jehovah are the perverse of heart, And the perfect of the way are His delight.
21 Hand to hand, the wicked is not acquitted, And the seed of the righteous hath escaped.
22 A ring of gold in the nose of a sow--A fair woman and stubborn of behaviour.
23 The desire of the righteous is only good, The hope of the wicked is transgression.
24 There is who is scattering, and yet is increased, And who is keeping back from uprightness, only to want.
