Proverbs 11:27-29

Good News Translation

²⁷ If your goals are good, you will be respected, but if you are looking for trouble, that is what you will get.

²⁸ Those who depend on their wealth will fall like the leaves of autumn, but the righteous will prosper like the leaves of summer.

²⁹ Those who bring trouble on their families will have nothing at the end.

Foolish people will always be servants to the wise.
