Proverbs 11:27-29
EasyEnglish Bible
27 If you try to do good things, people will respect you.
But if you want evil things to happen, they will happen to you!
28 If somebody trusts his riches to keep him safe,
he will fall like a leaf that falls from a tree.
But a righteous person will grow strong,
like a fresh green leaf.
29 Anyone who causes trouble for his family will not receive any good thing from them.
A foolish person like that will become the servant of a wise person.
Proverbs 11:27-29
New International Version
27 Whoever seeks good finds favor,
but evil comes to one who searches for it.(A)
28 Those who trust in their riches will fall,(B)
but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf.(C)
29 Whoever brings ruin on their family will inherit only wind,
and the fool will be servant to the wise.(D)
