24 There is one who (A)scatters, yet increases more;
And there is one who withholds more than is right,
But it leads to poverty.
25 (B)The generous soul will be made rich,
(C)And he who waters will also be watered himself.
26 The people will curse (D)him who withholds grain,
But (E)blessing will be on the head of him who sells it.

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.
