Proverbs 11:24-31

24 The world of the generous gets larger and larger; the world of the stingy gets smaller and smaller.

25 The one who blesses others is abundantly blessed; those who help others are helped.

26 Curses on those who drive a hard bargain! Blessings on all who play fair and square!

27 The one who seeks good finds delight; the student of evil becomes evil.

28 A life devoted to things is a dead life, a stump; a God-shaped life is a flourishing tree.

29 Exploit or abuse your family, and end up with a fistful of air; common sense tells you it's a stupid way to live.

30 A good life is a fruit-bearing tree; a violent life destroys souls.

31 If good people barely make it, what's in store for the bad!
