Proverbs 11:25 - A generous man will prosper

A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.

The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.

The generous man will be prosperous, And he who waters will himself be watered.

Proverbs 11:25

Commentary

These proverbs (11:24-27) should shape our attitudes toward wealth: it should be shared. Stinginess may lead to poverty. Generosity has the opposite effect.
