Proverbs 28:26-28
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
26 Those who trust in themselves are fools,
but those who walk in wisdom are safe.
27 Those who give to the poor have no lack,(A)
but those who avert their eyes, many curses.
28 When the wicked prevail, people hide;
but at their fall the just abound.(B)
