New Testament

Proverbs 11:26-31 English Standard Version (ESV)

26. The people curse him who holds back grain,but a blessing is on the head of him who sells it.

27. Whoever diligently seeks good seeks favor,but evil comes to him who searches for it.

28. Whoever trusts in his riches will fall,but the righteous will flourish like a green leaf.

29. Whoever troubles his own household will inherit the wind,and the fool will be servant to the wise of heart.

30. The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life,and whoever captures souls is wise.

31. If the righteous is repaid on earth,how much more the wicked and the sinner!
