1599 Geneva Bible
24 There is that scattereth, [a]and is more increased: but he that spareth more [b]than is right, surely cometh to poverty.
25 The [c]liberal person shall have plenty: and he that watereth, shall also have rain.
26 He that withdraweth the corn, the people will curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that [d]selleth corn.

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.
