Verse 23 is found in chapter 11 of Proverbs. The image of a beautiful woman without discretion compares outward beauty without prudence to a jewel placed in an inappropriate setting. Then contrasts appear between generosity and selfish withholding, between those who seek good and those who seek evil. The chapter concludes by affirming that righteousness produces fruit and that even the righteous receive correction; wisdom recognizes moral responsibility without turning it into a promise of freedom from difficulties.
