11:24  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.

11:25  The generous man will be prosperous, And he who waters will himself be watered.

11:28  He who trusts in his riches will fall, But the righteous will flourish like the {green} leaf.
