Proverbs 11:24-26
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
24 Some give freely yet grow all the richer;
others withhold what is due and only suffer want.(A)
25 A generous person will be enriched,
and one who gives water will get water.(B)
26 The people curse those who hold back grain,
but a blessing is on the head of those who sell it.(C)
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.
