Proverbs 11:22 in context

The verses around it, from Proverbs 11.

18 The wicked man earns an empty wage, but he who sows righteousness reaps a true reward.

19 Genuine righteousness leads to life, but the pursuit of evil brings death.

20 The perverse in heart are an abomination to the LORD, but the blameless in their walk are His delight.

21 Be assured that the wicked will not go unpunished, but the offspring of the righteous will escape.

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.

24 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.
