Proverbs 11:26 in Context — Proverbs 11
24 Tel, qui donne libéralement, devient plus riche; Et tel, qui épargne à l’excès, ne fait que s’appauvrir.
25 L’âme bienfaisante sera rassasiée, Et celui qui arrose sera lui-même arrosé.
26 Celui qui retient le blé est maudit du peuple, Mais la bénédiction est sur la tête de celui qui le vend.
27 Celui qui recherche le bien s’attire de la faveur, Mais celui qui poursuit le mal en est atteint.
28 Celui qui se confie dans ses richesses tombera, Mais les justes verdiront comme le feuillage.
