Proverbs 11:24-31 ▼

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 that blesses will be enriched, And he who waters will himself be watered.

26 He who withholds grain, the people will curse him, But blessing will be on the head of him who sells it.

27 He who earnestly seeks good seeks favor, But he who searches for evil, evil will come to him.

28 He who trusts in his riches will fall, But the righteous will flourish like the green leaf.

29 He who troubles his own house will inherit wind, And the ignorant fool will be a slave to the wise of heart.

30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And he who is wise wins souls.

31 If the righteous will be repaid in the earth, How much more the wicked and the sinner!
