Proverbs 11:24-29
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 11
24
There is one who scatters, and
yet
increases all the more,
And there is one who withholds what is justly due,
and yet it results
only in poverty.
25
A generous person will be prosperous,
And one who gives
others
plenty of water will himself be given plenty.
26
One who withholds grain, the people will curse him,
But blessing will be on the head of him who sells
it.
27
One who diligently seeks good seeks favor,
But one who seeks evil, evil will come to him.
28
One who trusts in his riches will fall,
But the righteous will flourish like the
green
leaf.
29
One who troubles his own house will inherit wind,
And the foolish will be servant to the wise-hearted.
King James Version
Chapter 11
24
There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.
25
The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.
26
He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.
27
He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.
28
He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.
29
He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 11
24
One person gives freely,
yet gains more;
another withholds what is right,
only to become poor.
25
A generous person will be enriched,
and the one who gives a drink of water
will receive water.
26
People will curse anyone who hoards grain,
but a blessing will come to the one who sells it.
27
The one who searches for what is good seeks favor,
but if someone looks for trouble, it will come to him.
28
Anyone trusting in his riches will fall,
but the righteous will flourish like foliage.
29
The one who brings ruin on his household
will inherit the wind,
and a fool will be a slave
to someone whose heart is wise.
New Living Translation
Chapter 11
24
Give freely and become more wealthy;
be stingy and lose everything.
25
The generous will prosper;
those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.
26
People curse those who hoard their grain,
but they bless the one who sells in time of need.
27
If you search for good, you will find favor;
but if you search for evil, it will find you!
28
Trust in your money and down you go!
But the godly flourish like leaves in spring.
29
Those who bring trouble on their families inherit the wind.
The fool will be a servant to the wise.
English Standard Version
Chapter 11
24
One gives freely, yet grows all the richer;
another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.
25
Whoever brings blessing will be enriched,
and one who waters will himself be watered.
26
The people curse him who holds back grain,
but a blessing is on the head of him who sells it.
27
Whoever diligently seeks good seeks favor,
but evil comes to him who searches for it.
28
Whoever trusts in his riches will fall,
but the righteous will flourish like a green leaf.
29
Whoever troubles his own household will inherit the wind,
and the fool will be servant to the wise of heart.
New International Version
Chapter 11
24
One person gives freely, yet gains even more;
another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.
25
A generous person will prosper;
whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.
26
People curse the one who hoards grain,
but they pray God’s blessing on the one who is willing to sell.
27
Whoever seeks good finds favor,
but evil comes to one who searches for it.
28
Those who trust in their riches will fall,
but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf.
29
Whoever brings ruin on their family will inherit only wind,
and the fool will be servant to the wise.
New King James Version
Chapter 11
24
There is
one
who scatters, yet increases more;
And there is
one
who withholds more than is right,
But it
leads
to poverty.
25
The generous soul will be made rich,
And he who waters will also be watered himself.
26
The people will curse him who withholds grain,
But blessing
will be
on the head of him who sells
it.
27
He who earnestly seeks good finds favor,
But trouble will come to him who seeks
evil.
28
He who trusts in his riches will fall,
But the righteous will flourish like foliage.
29
He who troubles his own house will inherit the wind,
And the fool
will be
servant to the wise of heart.
