Proverbs 28:26-28

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²⁶ The one who trusts in himself^[a] is a fool,
but one who walks in wisdom will be safe.^(A)

²⁷ The one who gives to the poor
will not be in need,
but one who turns his eyes away^[b]
will receive many curses.^(B)

²⁸ When the wicked come to power,
people hide,
but when they are destroyed,
the righteous flourish.^(C)
