Proverbs 11:24

English Standard Version

²⁴^(A)One gives ^(B)freely, yet grows all the richer;
another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.

Proverbs 11:24

New International Version

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

²³In all toil there is profit,
but mere talk ^(A)tends only to poverty.

²³All hard work brings a profit,
but mere talk leads only to poverty.

¹⁶Whoever oppresses the poor to increase his own wealth,
or gives to the rich, ^(A)will only come to poverty.

¹⁶One who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth
and one who gives gifts to the rich—both come to poverty.
