Proverbs 11:27

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

Try hard to do right, and you will win friends; go looking for trouble, and you will find it.

See the chapter Copy

Straight away, Haman was hanged on the tower he had built to hang Mordecai, and the king calmed down.

Proud and brutal people hunt down the poor. But let them get caught by their own evil plans!

Enemies set traps for my feet and struck me down. They dug a pit in my path, but fell in it themselves.

Cruel people want to rebel, and so vicious attackers will be sent against them.

The LORD blesses everyone who freely gives food to the poor.
