Proverbs 11:27

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

Whoever diligently seeks good seeks favor, but evil comes to the one who searches for it.

See the chapter Copy

So they hung Haman on the pole that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the anger of the king abated.

In arrogance the wicked persecute the poor— let them be caught in the schemes they have devised.

They set a net for my steps; my soul was bowed down. They dug a pit in my path, but they have fallen into it themselves. Selah

Evil people seek only rebellion, but a cruel messenger will be sent against them.

Those who are generous are blessed, for they share their bread with the poor.
