Proverbs 11:29-31
International Children’s Bible
29 Whoever brings trouble to his family will be left with nothing but the wind.
And a foolish person will become a servant to the wise.
30 As a tree makes fruit, a good person gives life to others.
The wise person shows others how to be wise.
31 Good people will be rewarded on earth.
So the wicked and the sinners will also be punished.
Proverbs 11:29-31
New King James Version
29 He who troubles his own house (A)will inherit the wind,
And the fool will be (B)servant to the wise of heart.
31 (D)If the righteous will be [b]recompensed on the earth,
How much more the ungodly and the sinner.
