Proverbs 28:25-27

The Message

²⁵A grasping person stirs up trouble,
but trust in God brings a sense of well-being.

²⁶If you think you know it all, you’re a fool for sure;
real survivors learn wisdom from others.

²⁷Be generous to the poor—you’ll never go hungry;
shut your eyes to their needs, and run a gauntlet of curses.

Proverbs 28:25-27
