Proverbs 11:27-29

New International Reader's Version

²⁷Anyone who looks for what is good will be blessed.
But bad things will happen to a person who plans to do evil.

²⁸Those who trust in their riches will fall.
But those who do right will be as healthy as a green leaf.

²⁹Those who bring ruin on their families will receive nothing but wind.
And foolish people will serve wise people.
