Proverbs 11:27

The Scriptures 1998

He who earnestly seeks good, Seeks what is pleasing; But to him who seeks evil, It comes to him.

See the chapter Copy

An evil one seeks only rebellion, So a cruel messenger is sent against him.

They have prepared a net for my footsteps; My being was bowed down; They have dug a pit before me; They fell into the midst of it! Selah.

And they impaled Haman on the stake that he had prepared for Mordeḵ

In arrogance the wrongdoer hotly pursues the poor; They are caught by the schemes which they devised.

He who has a good eye is blessed, For he gives of his bread to the poor.
