Proverbs 11:26-28

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁶ If you refuse to sell food to hungry people, they will curse you.
    But if you sell it to them, they will praise you.
²⁷ If you try to do good things, people will respect you.
    But if you want evil things to happen, they will happen to you!
²⁸ If somebody trusts his riches to keep him safe,
    he will fall like a leaf that falls from a tree.
But a righteous person will grow strong,
    like a fresh green leaf.
