Proverbs 11:29-31

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁹ He who troubles his own house shall inherit the wind, and the foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart.

³⁰ The fruit of the [uncompromisingly] righteous is a tree of life, and he who is wise captures human lives [for God, as a fisher of men—he gathers and receives them for eternity].^(A)

³¹ Behold, the [uncompromisingly] righteous shall be recompensed on earth; how much more the wicked and the sinner! And ^[a]if the righteous are barely saved, what will become of the ungodly and wicked?^(B)
