Proverbs 11:24-26
New International Version
24 One person gives freely, yet gains even more;
another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.
26 People curse the one who hoards grain,
but they pray God’s blessing on the one who is willing to sell.
Proverbs 11:24-26
Lexham English Bible
24 There is one who gives yet grows richer,[a]
but he who withholds what is right[b] only finds need.
25 A person of blessing will be enriched,
and he who gives water also will be refreshed.
26 He who withholds grain, the people curse him,
but a blessing is for the head of him who sells.
