Proverbs 11:24-26
Legacy Standard Bible
24 There is one who scatters, and yet increases all the more,
And there is one who holds back what is rightly due, and yet results only in want.
25 The soul [a]that (A)blesses will be [b]enriched,
And he who (B)waters will himself be watered.
26 He who withholds grain, the (C)people will curse him,
But (D)blessing will be on the head of him who (E)sells it.
