Proverbs 11:25
23 The desire of the righteous leads only to good, but the hope of the wicked brings wrath.
24 One gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds what is right, only to become poor.
A generous soul will prosper, and he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.
26 The people will curse the hoarder of grain, but blessing will crown the one who sells it.
27 He who searches out good finds favor, but evil will come to him who seeks it.
