Proverbs 11:25

Bible in Basic English 1965

He who gives blessing will be made fat, but the curser will himself be cursed.

See the chapter Copy

Came with beds and basins and pots, and grain and meal, and all sorts of dry foods,

A man may give freely, and still his wealth will be increased; and another may keep back more than is right, but only comes to be in need.

He who is ever desiring profit is a cause of fighting; but he who puts his faith in the Lord will be made fat.

He who gives to the poor will never be in need, but great curses will be on him who gives no attention to them.

So your store-houses will be full of grain, and your vessels overflowing with new wine.

Give honour to the Lord with your wealth, and with the first-fruits of all your increase:

But the noble-hearted man has noble purposes, and by these he will be guided.

Happy are those who have mercy: for they will be given mercy.
