Proverbs 11:24-27

New Living Translation

²⁴Give freely and become more wealthy;
be stingy and lose everything.

²⁵The generous will prosper;
those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.

²⁶People curse those who hoard their grain,
but they bless the one who sells in time of need.

²⁷If you search for good, you will find favor;
but if you search for evil, it will find you!

Proverbs 11:24-27

another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.

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

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

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