Proverbs 11:27

New International Reader's Version

Anyone who looks for what is good will be blessed. But bad things will happen to a person who plans to do evil.

See the chapter Copy

So they did. And they used the pole Haman had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king’s anger calmed down.

An evil person is proud and hunts down those who are weak. He catches weak people by making clever plans.

My enemies spread a net to catch me by the feet. I felt helpless. They dug a pit in my path. But they fell into it themselves.

An evil person tries to keep others from obeying God. The messenger of death will be sent against them.

Those who give freely will be blessed. That’s because they share their food with those who are poor.
