Proverbs 11:26-31

English Standard Version

^26 (A)The people curse him who holds back grain,
    but ^(B)a blessing is on the head of him who ^(C)sells it.
²⁷ Whoever diligently seeks good seeks favor,^[a]
    but evil comes to ^(D)him who searches for it.
²⁸ Whoever ^(E)trusts in his riches will fall,
    but the righteous will ^(F)flourish like a green leaf.
²⁹ Whoever ^(G)troubles his own household will ^(H)inherit the wind,
    and the fool will be servant to the wise of heart.
³⁰ The fruit of the righteous is ^(I)a tree of life,
    and whoever ^(J)captures souls is wise.
³¹ If ^(K)the righteous is repaid on earth,
    how much more the wicked and the sinner!
