Proverbs 11:22

The Scriptures 1998

Like a ring of gold in a pig’s snout, Is a lovely woman who lacks good sense.

See the chapter Copy

“And I asked her, and said, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ And she said, ‘The daughter of Bethu’ĕ

Hand to hand, the evil one does not go unpunished, But the seed of the righteous shall escape.

A capable wife is the crown of her husband, But one causing shame is like rottenness in his bones.

Loveliness is deceptive And prettiness is vain, A woman who fears יהוה is to be praised.

And look, a woman met him, Dressed like a whore, With a hidden heart.

A foolish woman is loud, Simple, and without knowledge.

For them the proverb has proved true, “A dog returns to his own vomit,” and, “A washed sow returns to her rolling in the mud.”
