Proverbs 11:27-31

The one who seeks good finds delight; the student of evil becomes evil. A life devoted to things is a dead life, a stump; a God-shaped life is a flourishing tree. Exploit or abuse your family, and end up with a fistful of air; common sense tells you it’s a stupid way to live. A good life is a fruit-bearing tree; a violent life destroys souls. If good people barely make it, what’s in store for the bad!
