SEV Biblia, Chapter 11:27

¶ El que madruga al bien, hallará favor; mas al que busca el mal, éste le vendrá.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 27. He that diligently seeketh good , etc.] Or “early”; who rises early in the morning, as the word signifies, and seeks both to do good, and to enjoy it all the day; who, in the first place, seeks the kingdom of God and his righteousness; who, in the morning of his youth, inquires after the best things; and diligently pursues what is for his own good and welfare, and that of others, and for the glory of God: procureth favour , both of God and men: or, “seeketh favour” f319 ; or that which is acceptable and well-pleasing unto God; but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him ; that seeks to do hurt to others; that which he seeks to do to them shall come upon himself; (see Psalm 9:15); so antichrist, that leads into captivity, shall go into captivity; and that kills with the sword, shall be killed by it, ( Revelation 13:10).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 27 - Seeking mischief is here set against seeking good; for those that ar not doing good are doing hurt, even to themselves.
