Proverbs 11:23-31

Share

Settings

23 The desire of the righteous is only good, But the 1expectation of the wicked is wrath.
24 There is one who scatters, and yet increases all the more, And there is one who withholds what is justly due, and yet it results only in want.
25 The 2generous man will be prosperous, And he who 3waters will himself be watered.
26 He who withholds grain, the 4people will curse him, But 5blessing will be on the head of him who 6sells it.
27 He who diligently seeks good seeks favor, But 7he who seeks evil, evil will come to him.
28 He who 8trusts in his riches will fall, But 9the righteous will flourish like the green leaf.
29 He who 10troubles his own house will 11inherit wind, And 12the foolish will be servant to the wisehearted.
30 The fruit of the righteous is 13a tree of life, And 14he who is wise wins souls.
31 If 15the righteous will be rewarded in the earth, How much * more the wicked and the sinner!
