Proverbs 11:24

Proverbs Of Solomon

²³ The desire of the righteous is only good,
But the expectation of the wicked is wrath.
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 want.
²⁵ The generous man will be prosperous,
And he who waters will himself be watered.
