Proverbs 11:23-30
New King James Version
Proverbs 11:23-30
New King James Version
23 The desire of the righteous is only good,
But the expectation of the wicked (A)is wrath.
24 There is one who (B)scatters, yet increases more;
And there is one who withholds more than is right,
But it leads to poverty.
25 (C)The generous soul will be made rich,
(D)And he who waters will also be watered himself.
26 The people will curse (E)him who withholds grain,
But (F)blessing will be on the head of him who sells it.
29 He who troubles his own house (J)will inherit the wind,
And the fool will be (K)servant to the wise of heart.
