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

22 A beautiful woman without discretion is like a fine gold ring in a pig's snout.

20 Those who have wrong hearts are disgusting to the Lord, but he is pleased with innocent people.

19 Anyone who is determined to do right will live, but anyone who insists on doing wrong will die.

18 The wicked make money that won't last, but those who live right will have a true reward.

17 It pays to be kind, but it costs you to be cruel.
