Proverbs 11:23-31, GNB
[23]What good people want always results in good; when the wicked get what they want, everyone is angry.
[24]Some people spend their money freely and still grow richer. Others are cautious, and yet grow poorer.
[25]Be generous, and you will be prosperous. Help others, and you will be helped.
[26]People curse someone who hoards grain, waiting for a higher price, but they praise the one who puts it up for sale.
[27]If your goals are good, you will be respected, but if you are looking for trouble, that is what you will get.
[28]Those who depend on their wealth will fall like the leaves of autumn, but the righteous will prosper like the leaves of summer.
[29]Those who bring trouble on their families will have nothing at the end.Foolish people will always be servants to the wise.
[30]Righteousness gives life, but violence takes it away.
[31]Those who are good are rewarded here on earth, so you can be sure that wicked and sinful people will be punished.
