Proverbs 11:26-28

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁶ The people curse him who holds back grain [when the public needs it], but a blessing [from God and man] is upon the head of him who sells it.

²⁷ He who diligently seeks good seeks [God’s] favor, but he who searches after evil, it shall come upon him.

²⁸ He who leans on, trusts in, and is confident in his riches shall fall, but the [uncompromisingly] righteous shall flourish like a green bough.
