Christian Standard Bible
24 One person gives freely,
yet gains more;(A)
another withholds what is right,
only to become poor.(B)
25 A generous person will be enriched,(C)
and the one who gives a drink of water
will receive water.(D)
26 People will curse(E) anyone who hoards grain,
but a blessing will come to the one who sells it.(F)
Proverbs 11:24-26
Common English Bible
24 Those who give generously receive more,
but those who are stingy with what is appropriate will grow needy.
25 Generous persons will prosper;
those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.
26 People curse those who hoard grain,
but they bless those[a] who sell it.
