Proverbs 11:26-31 New English Translation (NET)

26. People will curse the one who withholds grain,but they will praise the one who sells it.

27. The one who diligently seeks good seeks favor,but the one who searches for evil – it will come to him.

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

29. The one who troubles his family will inherit nothing,and the fool will be a servant to the wise person.

30. The fruit of the righteous is like a tree producing life,and the one who wins souls is wise.

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