Proverbs 11:25 Context
23The desire of the righteous is onely good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath. 24There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more then is meete, but it tendeth to pouertie. 25The liberall soule shalbe made fat: and he that watereth, shall be watered also himselfe. 26Hee that withholdeth corne, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be vpon the head of him that selleth it. 27He that diligently seeketh good, procureth fauour: but hee that seeketh mischiefe, it shall come vnto him.
