Proverbs 11:23

A good man wants good things, and he will receive good things.

An evil man wants evil things. God will punish this man, because the man’s actions are evil.

v24 One man gives, and his wealth increases.

Another man does not give to anybody, and he becomes poor.

v25 A generous man will become rich.

As he helps other people, so he himself receives help.

v26 Sometimes a man keeps food for himself when other people are hungry. People curse him.

They bless the man who will sell his food.

v27 Look for the things that are good! You will find kindness.

Look for the things that are evil! Evil things will come to you.

v28 If you trust your wealth, you will fail.

If you do good things, your life will develop.

v29 Do not bring trouble upon your family! In the end, you will have nothing.

A fool will be a servant to someone who is wiser than him.

v30 The good man receives a good life as his reward.

A wise person can understand how to teach wisdom to other people.

v31 Even in this world, the good man gets what he deserves.

So does the man who hates God.

Even the evil man will get what he deserves.
