Proverbs 28:25-27

Good News Translation

²⁵ Selfishness only causes trouble. You are much better off to trust the Lord.

²⁶ It is foolish to follow your own opinions. Be safe, and follow the teachings of wiser people.

²⁷ Give to the poor and you will never be in need. If you close your eyes to the poor, many people will curse you.
