Proverbs 11:26-28

Contemporary English Version

²⁶ Charge too much for grain,
    and you will be cursed;
sell it at a fair price,
    and you will be praised.
²⁷ Try hard to do right,
    and you will win friends;
go looking for trouble,
    and you will find it.
²⁸ Trust in your wealth,
    and you will be a failure,
but God's people will prosper
    like healthy plants.
