Proverbs 11

Proverbs 11, in the Book of Proverbs of the Bible, contrasts the reward of the righteous with that of the wicked. It includes this classic line: "he who seeks evil, evil will come to him."

Proverbs 11 concludes with:

“

He who trusts in his riches will fall, But the righteous will flourish like the green leaf. He who troubles his own house will inherit wind, And the foolish will be servant to the wisehearted. The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And he who is wise [n]wins souls. If the righteous will be rewarded in the earth, How much more the wicked and the sinner!
