Proverbs 28:26-28

The Message

²⁶ If you think you know it all, you’re a fool for sure;
    real survivors learn wisdom from others.

²⁷ Be generous to the poor—you’ll never go hungry;
    shut your eyes to their needs, and run a gauntlet of curses.

²⁸ When corruption takes over, good people go underground,
    but when the crooks are thrown out, it’s safe to come out.
