The Nugget:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pro 11:27\u00a0 He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him. (KJV)<\/p>\n

Pro 11:27\u00a0 He that devises good counsels seeks good favour: but as for him that seeks after evil, evil shall overtake him. (LXX, Brenton translation)<\/p>\n

Pro 11:27\u00a0 If your goals are good, you will be respected, but if you are looking for trouble, that is what you will get. (GNB, Good News Bible)<\/p>\n

Pro 11:27\u00a0 Whoever eagerly seeks good searches for good will, but whoever looks for evil finds it. (GW, God’s Word translation)<\/p>\n

Pro 11:27 Try hard to do right, and you will win friends; go looking for trouble, and you will find it. (CEV, Contemporary English Version)<\/p>\n

Pro 11:27\u00a0 People are pleased with those who try to do good. Those who look for trouble will find it. (ERV, Easy-to-Read Version)<\/p>\n

Pro 11:27\u00a0 The one who diligently seeks good seeks favor, but the one who searches for evil \u2013 it will come to him. (NET Bible)<\/p>\n

My Comment:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Proverbs 11:27 is another example of a verse which states a cause\/effect relationship:<\/p>\n

cause: “He that diligently seeketh good”
\neffect:\u00a0 “procureth favour”<\/p>\n

cause: “he that seeketh mischief”
\neffect: “it [mischief] shall come unto him”<\/p>\n

This is yet another new example of a cause\/effect relationship passage that needs to be added to the already extensive list at Psalm 9:10 in the\u00a0New Treasury of Scripture Knowledge<\/em> and the\u00a0Ultimate Cross Reference Treasury<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It is possible to dig still deeper into the study of Proverbs 11:27 by studying the cross references given for this verse:<\/p>\n

from the original\u00a0Treasury of Scripture Knowledge:<\/em><\/p>\n

Proverbs 11:27
\ndiligently<\/strong>: Shochair<\/em>, properly, “rising early to seek” what is greatly desired.<\/p>\n

he that seeketh<\/strong>: Pro 17:11; Est 7:10; Psa 7:15, 16, Psa 9:15, 16, Psa 10:2, Psa 57:6<\/p>\n

from the\u00a0Ultimate Cross Reference Treasury:<\/em><\/p>\n

Proverbs 11:27
\ndiligently<\/strong>. Shochair<\/em>, properly, “rising early to seek” what is greatly desired. +Job 8:5 (*S# H7836).<\/p>\n

he that seeketh<\/strong>. Pro 17:11, *Est 7:10, *Psa 7:14, 16; Psa 9:15, 16; Psa 10:2; Psa 57:6.<\/p>\n

It is possible, and for some this may be very helpful, to further expand the number of cross references for Proverbs 11:27 as follows:<\/p>\n

Proverbs 11:27
\ndiligently<\/strong>. Shochair<\/em>, properly, “rising early to seek” what is greatly desired. +Job 8:5 (*S# H7836). Ge 21:14.\u00a0 22:3. 28:18. Ex 15:26. 24:4. Mat 5:6. Heb 11:6.<\/p>\n
