People will curse the one who hoards grain, but a blessing will be upon the head of the one who sells it.
As governor of the country, Joseph was selling grain to everyone. So when Joseph’s brothers arrived, they bowed in front of him with their faces touching the ground.
Joseph collected all the money that could be found in Egypt and in Canaan as payment for the grain people bought. Then he took it to Pharaoh’s palace.
I received a blessing from the dying. I made the widow’s heart sing for joy.
Blessings cover the head of a righteous person, but violence covers the mouths of wicked people.
Whoever says to a guilty person, “You are innocent,” will be cursed by people and condemned by nations.
Whoever gives to the poor lacks nothing. Whoever ignores the poor receives many curses.
