Pr11v24

The generous will prosper

Proverbs 11 verses 24-26

One man gives freely, yet gains even more;

another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.

A generous man will prosper;

he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.

People curse the man who hoards grain,

but blessing crowns him who is willing to sell.

See also Deut 15 v 8, Ps 37 v 26, Ps 112 v 5, and Mtt 5 v 42 for more Scriptures encouraging generosity and lending.
