The proverb puts it this way:

The one who searches for what is good finds favor,
but if someone looks for trouble, it will come to him   (11:27)

What he looks for—i.e., trouble he can cause another—in the end, only comes back upon himself.

A pretty strong warning to trouble-makers—don’t you think?
