Proverbs 11:24-26

Contemporary English Version

²⁴ Sometimes you can become rich
by being generous
    or poor by being greedy.
²⁵ Generosity will be rewarded:
    Give a cup of water,
and you will receive
    a cup of water in return.
²⁶ Charge too much for grain,
    and you will be cursed;
sell it at a fair price,
    and you will be praised.
