Proverbs 11:25-27

Contemporary English Version

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.
²⁷ Try hard to do right,
    and you will win friends;
go looking for trouble,
    and you will find it.
