Proverbs 11:23-25
Contemporary English Version

23 Good people want what is best,
but troublemakers
    hope to stir up trouble.[a]

24 Sometimes you can become rich
by being generous
    or poor by being greedy.
25 Generosity will be rewarded:
    Give a cup of water,
and you will receive
    a cup of water in return.
