Proverbs 22:8-10

The Message

⁸Whoever sows sin reaps weeds,
and bullying anger sputters into nothing.

⁹Generous hands are blessed hands
because they give bread to the poor.

¹⁰Kick out the troublemakers and things will quiet down;
you need a break from bickering and griping!

quarrels and insults are ended.^(E)
