Proverbs 11:28–31

28 Anyone trusting in his riches will fall,b

but the righteous will flourish like foliage.c

29 The one who brings ruin on his householdd

will inherit the wind,e

and a fool will be a slave

to someone whose heart is wise.

30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life,f

but a cunning person takes lives.

31 If the righteous will be repaid on earth,

how much more the wicked and sinful.g
