ગુજરાતીનીતિવચનો ૧૧:૨૩
નેક માણસની ઇચ્છા સારી જ હોય છે, પરંતુ દુષ્ટોની ઇચ્છાઓ કોપરૂપ છે.
हिन्दीनीतिवचन ११:२३
धर्मियों की लालसा तो केवल भलाई की होती है; परन्तु दुष्टों की आशा का फल क्रोध ही होता है।

In context

21Most certainly, the evil man will not be unpunished, but the offspring of the righteous will be delivered.

22Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout, is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion.

23The desire of the righteous is only good. The expectation of the wicked is wrath.

24There is one who scatters, and increases yet more. There is one who withholds more than is appropriate, but gains poverty.

25The liberal soul shall be made fat. He who waters shall be watered also himself.
