Proverbs 11:28-30
EasyEnglish Bible
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.
30 The good things that a righteous person does bring life.
A person who saves people's lives shows that he is wise.
Proverbs 11:28-30
New International Version
28 Those who trust in their riches will fall,(A)
but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf.(B)
29 Whoever brings ruin on their family will inherit only wind,
and the fool will be servant to the wise.(C)
30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life,(D)
and the one who is wise saves lives.
