Proverbs 11:24-31 ▼

24 There is [one] who is scattering, and yet is increased, || And [one] who is keeping back from uprightness, only to want.

25 A liberal soul is made fat, || And whoever is watering, he also is watered.

26 Whoever is withholding grain, the people execrate him, || And a blessing [is] for the head of him who is selling.

27 Whoever is earnestly seeking good || Seeks a pleasing thing, || And whoever is seeking evil—it meets him.

28 Whoever is confident in his wealth falls, || And as a leaf, the righteous flourish.

29 Whoever is troubling his own house inherits wind, || And the fool [is] a servant to the wise of heart.

30 The fruit of the righteous [is] a tree of life, || And whoever is taking souls [is] wise.

31 Behold, the righteous is repaid in the earth, || Surely also the wicked and the sinner!
