Proverbs 11:24-31

24 Some give freely but get even richer. Others don't give what they should but get even poorer.

25 Anyone who gives a lot will succeed. Anyone who renews others will be renewed.

26 People call down curses on those who store up grain for themselves. But blessing makes those who are willing to sell feel like kings.

27 Anyone who looks for what is good finds favor. But bad things happen to a person who plans to do evil.

28 Those who trust in their riches will fall. But those who do right will be as healthy as a green leaf.

29 Those who bring trouble on their families will receive nothing but wind. And foolish people will serve wise people.

30 The fruit that godly people bear is like a tree of life. And those who lead others to do what is right are wise.

31 Godly people get what they should get on earth. So ungodly people and sinners will certainly get what they should get!
