Proverbs 11:24-31
New American Standard Bible
24 There is one who scatters, and yet increases all the more,
And there is one who withholds what is justly due, and yet it results only in poverty.
25 A [a](A)generous person will be [b]prosperous,
And one who (B)gives others plenty of water will himself be given plenty.
26 One who withholds grain, the (C)people will curse him,
But (D)blessing will be on the head of him who (E)sells it.
27 One who diligently seeks good seeks favor,
But (F)one who seeks evil, evil will come to him.
28 One who (G)trusts in his riches will fall,
But (H)the righteous will flourish like the green leaf.
29 One who (I)troubles his own house will (J)inherit wind,
And (K)the foolish will be servant to the wise-hearted.
30 The fruit of the righteous is (L)a tree of life,
And (M)one who is wise [c]gains souls.
31 If (N)the righteous will be repaid on the earth,
How much more the wicked and the sinner!

Proverbs 11:24-31
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.
27 Whoever seeks good finds favor,
but evil comes to one who searches for it.(C)
28 Those who trust in their riches will fall,(D)
but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf.(E)
29 Whoever brings ruin on their family will inherit only wind,
and the fool will be servant to the wise.(F)
30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life,(G)
and the one who is wise saves lives.
31 If the righteous receive their due(H) on earth,
how much more the ungodly and the sinner!
