Proverbs 11:24-31

New International Version

²⁴ One person gives freely, yet gains even more;
    another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.

²⁵ A generous^(A) person will prosper;
    whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.^(B)

²⁶ People curse the one who hoards grain,
    but they pray God’s blessing on the one who is willing to sell.

²⁷ Whoever seeks good finds favor,
    but evil comes to one who searches for it.^(C)

²⁸ Those who trust in their riches will fall,^(D)
    but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf.^(E)

²⁹ Whoever brings ruin on their family will inherit only wind,
    and the fool will be servant to the wise.^(F)

³⁰ The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life,^(G)
    and the one who is wise saves lives.

³¹ If the righteous receive their due^(H) on earth,
    how much more the ungodly and the sinner!
