Proverbs 28:26-28

New International Reader's Version

²⁶ Those who trust in themselves are foolish.
    But those who live wisely are kept safe.

²⁷ Those who give to poor people will have all they need.
    But those who close their eyes to the poor will receive many curses.

²⁸ When those who are evil take charge, other people hide.
    But when those who are evil die, godly people grow stronger.
