Proverbs 22:8-10

New International Reader's Version

⁸ Anyone who plants evil gathers a harvest of trouble.
    Their power to treat others badly will be destroyed.

⁹ Those who give freely will be blessed.
    That’s because they share their food with those who are poor.

¹⁰ If you drive away those who make fun of others, fighting also goes away.
    Arguing and unkind words will stop.
