Proverbs 11:26-31 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

26. Whoever hoards grain, the people curse,but blessings are on the head of one who distributes it!

27. Those who seek the good seek favor,but those who pursue evil will have evil come upon them.

28. Those who trust in their riches will fall,but like green leaves the just will flourish.

29. Those who trouble their household inherit the wind,and fools become slaves to the wise of heart.

30. The fruit of justice is a tree of life,and one who takes lives is a sage.

31. If the just are recompensed on the earth,how much more the wicked and the sinner!
