Proverbs 11:27

New King James Version

He who earnestly seeks good finds favor, But trouble will come to him who seeks evil.

See the chapter Copy

An evil man seeks only rebellion; Therefore a cruel messenger will be sent against him.

They have prepared a net for my steps; My soul is bowed down; They have dug a pit before me; Into the midst of it they themselves have fallen. Selah

So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king’s wrath subsided.

The wicked in his pride persecutes the poor; Let them be caught in the plots which they have devised.

He who has a generous eye will be blessed, For he gives of his bread to the poor.
