Proverbs 22:8-10

New International Reader's Version

⁸Anyone who plants evil gathers a harvest of trouble.
Their power to treat others badly will be destroyed.

⁹Those who give freely will be blessed.
That’s because they share their food with those who are poor.

¹⁰If you drive away those who make fun of others, fighting also goes away.
Arguing and unkind words will stop.

Proverbs 22:8-10

and the rod they wield in fury will be broken.^(B)

⁹The generous will themselves be blessed,^(C)
for they share their food with the poor.^(D)

¹⁰Drive out the mocker, and out goes strife;
quarrels and insults are ended.^(E)
