Proverbs 28:10-12

The Message

¹⁰Lead good people down a wrong path
and you’ll come to a bad end;
do good and you’ll be rewarded for it.

¹¹The rich think they know it all,
but the poor can see right through them.

¹²When good people are promoted, everything is great,
but when the bad are in charge, watch out!

Proverbs 28:10-12

New International Version

¹⁰Whoever leads the upright along an evil path
will fall into their own trap,^(A)
but the blameless will receive a good inheritance.

¹¹The rich are wise in their own eyes;
one who is poor and discerning sees how deluded they are.

¹²When the righteous triumph, there is great elation;^(B)
but when the wicked rise to power, people go into hiding.^(C)
