Proverbs 11:26

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

He that hideth up corn, shall be cursed among the people: but a blessing upon the head of them that sell.

See the chapter Copy

The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I comforted the heart of the widow.

And Joseph was governor in the land of Egypt, and corn was sold by his direction to the people. And when his brethren had bowed down to him,

They that say to the wicked man: Thou art just: shall be cursed by the people, and the tribes shall abhor them.

Out of which he gathered up all the money for the corn which they bought, and brought it into the king's treasure.

The blessing of the Lord is upon the head of the just: but iniquity covereth the mouth of the wicked.

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