Proverbs 11:27-29

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁷ If you try to do good things, people will respect you.
    But if you want evil things to happen, they will happen to you!
²⁸ If somebody trusts his riches to keep him safe,
    he will fall like a leaf that falls from a tree.
But a righteous person will grow strong,
    like a fresh green leaf.
²⁹ Anyone who causes trouble for his family will not receive any good thing from them.
    A foolish person like that will become the servant of a wise person.
