Proverbs 28:26-28

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²⁶ Those who trust in their own wits are fools,
    but those who walk in wisdom come through safely.
²⁷ Whoever gives to the poor will lack nothing,
    but one who turns a blind eye will get many a curse.^(A)
28 When the wicked prevail, people go into hiding,
    but when they perish, the righteous increase.
