Proverbs 22:8-12

⁸He that sows wickedness shall reap troubles; And shall fully receive the punishment of his deeds.

^8aGod loves a cheerful and liberal man; But a man shall fully prove the folly of his works.

⁹He that has pity on the poor shall himself be maintained; For he has given of his own bread to the poor.

^9aHe that gives liberally secures victory and honor; But he takes away the life of them that possess them.

¹⁰Cast out a pestilent person from the council, and strife shall go out with him; For when he sits in the council he dishonors all.

¹¹The Lord loves holy hearts, And all blameless persons are acceptable with him: A king rules with his lips.

¹²But the eyes of the Lord preserve discretion; But the transgressor despises wise words.
