Proverbs 11:25

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

The soul which blesseth, shall be made fat: and he that inebriateth, shall be inebriated also himself.

See the chapter Copy

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

But the prince will devise such things as are worthy of a prince: and he shall stand above the rulers.

He that giveth to the poor, shall not want: he that despiseth his entreaty, shall suffer indigence.

Brought him beds, and tapestry, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and meal, and parched corn, and beans, and lentils, and fried pulse,

Honour the Lord with thy substance, and give him of the first of all thy fruits:

And thy barns shall be filled with abundance, and thy presses shall run over with wine.

Some distribute their own goods, and grow richer: others take away what is not their own, and are always in want.

He that boasteth, and puffeth up himself, stirreth up quarrels: but he that trusteth in the Lord, shall be healed.
