Proverbs 11:27

Bible in Basic English 1965

He who, with all his heart, goes after what is good is searching for grace; but he who is looking for trouble will get it.

See the chapter Copy

So Haman was put to death by hanging him on the pillar he had made for Mordecai. Then the king's wrath became less.

The evil-doer in his pride is cruel to the poor; let him be taken by the tricks of his invention.

They have made ready a net for my steps; my soul is bent down; they have made a great hole before me, and have gone down into it themselves. Selah.

An uncontrolled man is only looking for trouble, so a cruel servant will be sent against him.

He who is kind will have a blessing, for he gives of his bread to the poor.
