24 There is one who scatters, and yet increases all the more,
And there is one who withholds what is justly due, and yet it results only in poverty.
25 A [a](A)generous person will be [b]prosperous,
And one who (B)gives others plenty of water will himself be given plenty.
26 One who withholds grain, the (C)people will curse him,
But (D)blessing will be on the head of him who (E)sells it.
27 One who diligently seeks good seeks favor,
But (F)one who seeks evil, evil will come to him.
28 One who (G)trusts in his riches will fall,
But (H)the righteous will flourish like the green leaf.
29 One who (I)troubles his own house will (J)inherit wind,
And (K)the foolish will be servant to the wise-hearted.
30 The fruit of the righteous is (L)a tree of life,
And (M)one who is wise [c]gains souls.
31 If (N)the righteous will be repaid on the earth,
How much more the wicked and the sinner!

24 There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.

25 The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.

26 He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.

27 He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.

28 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.

29 He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.

30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.

31 Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner.
