Proverbs 11:27-29

Young's Literal Translation

²⁷Whoso is earnestly seeking good Seeketh a pleasing thing, And whoso is seeking evil -- it meeteth him.

²⁸Whoso is confident in his wealth he falleth, And as a leaf, the righteous flourish.

²⁹Whoso is troubling his own house inheriteth wind, And a servant [is] the fool to the wise of heart.
