Proverbs 11:24-26
New Living Translation
24 Give freely and become more wealthy;
be stingy and lose everything.
25 The generous will prosper;
those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.
26 People curse those who hoard their grain,
but they bless the one who sells in time of need.
Proverbs 11:24-26

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.
