Proverbs 28:26-28

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁶ If you trust your own thoughts, you are a fool.
    But if you live in a wise way, you will be safe from danger.
²⁷ If you give things to poor people, you will still have enough for yourself.
    But everyone will curse you if you refuse to help poor people.
²⁸ When wicked people become powerful,
    everyone runs away to hide.
But when wicked people lose their power,
    righteous people do well again.
