Proverbs 28:26-28
New American Standard Bible
26 One who (A)trusts in his own heart is a fool,
But one who walks wisely will flee to safety.
27 One who (B)gives to the poor will never lack anything,
But one who [a]shuts his eyes will have many curses.
28 When the wicked rise, people hide themselves;
But when they perish, the righteous increase.
