26 The one who trusts in himself[a] is a fool,
but one who walks in wisdom will be safe.(A)

27 The one who gives to the poor
will not be in need,
but one who turns his eyes away[b]
will receive many curses.(B)

28 When the wicked come to power,
people hide,
but when they are destroyed,
the righteous flourish.(C)
