Proverbs 11:27

New English Translation

The one who diligently seeks good seeks favor, but the one who searches for evil – it will come to him.

See the chapter Copy

So they hanged Haman on the very gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. The king’s rage then abated.

The wicked arrogantly chase the oppressed; the oppressed are trapped by the schemes the wicked have dreamed up.

They have prepared a net to trap me; I am discouraged. They have dug a pit for me. They will fall into it! (Selah)

An evil person seeks only rebellion, and so a cruel messenger will be sent against him.

A generous person will be blessed, for he gives some of his food to the poor.
