Proverbs 28:27-28
The Message
27 Be generous to the poor—you’ll never go hungry;
shut your eyes to their needs, and run a gauntlet of curses.
28 When corruption takes over, good people go underground,
but when the crooks are thrown out, it’s safe to come out.
Proverbs 28:27-28
New International Version
27 Those who give to the poor will lack nothing,(A)
but those who close their eyes to them receive many curses.(B)
28 When the wicked rise to power, people go into hiding;(C)
but when the wicked perish, the righteous thrive.
