New International Version (NIV)

27Whoever seeks good finds favor,

but evil comes to one who searches for it.

27One who diligently seeks good seeks favor,

But one who seeks evil, evil will come to him.

27He who diligently seeks good seeks favor and grace,

But he who seeks evil, evil will come to him.

27He who searches out good finds favor,

but evil will come to him who seeks it.

27He that diligently seeketh good seeketh favor;

But he that searcheth after evil, it shall come unto him.

27He that seeketh good things, getteth fauour: but he that seeketh euill, it shall come to him.

27He who diligently seeks good seeks favor,

but he who searches after evil, it shall come to him.

27Anyone who looks for what is good will be blessed.

But bad things will happen to a person who plans to do evil.

27If you try to do good things,

people will respect you.

But if you want evil things to happen,

they will happen to you!

27Whoever is earnestly seeking good || Seeks a pleasing thing, || And whoever is seeking evil—it meets him.
