Proverbs 11:27

Proverbs Of Solomon

²⁶ He who withholds grain, the people will curse him,
But blessing will be on the head of him who sells it.
²⁷ He who diligently seeks good seeks favor,
But he who seeks evil, evil will come to him.
²⁸ He who trusts in his riches will fall,
But the righteous will flourish like the green leaf.

He Who Searches

What is Good
