Proverbs 11:25
KJV—The liberal soul shall be made fat:
and he that watereth shall be watered
also himself.

Amp—The liberal person shall be enriched,
and he who waters shall himself be watered.

Moffatt—A liberal soul will be enriched,
and he who waters will himself be watered.

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

Proverbs 13:4
KJV—The soul of the sluggard desireth,
and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent
shall be made fat.

Amp—The appetite of the sluggard craves
and gets nothing, but the appetite of the
diligent shall be abundantly supplied.

Moffatt—The lazy man has longings, but gets
nothing: the diligent man is amply supplied.

NIV—The sluggard craves and gets
nothing, but the desires of the diligent are
fully satisfied.

Proverbs 13:11-13
KJV—Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished:
but he that gathereth by labour
shall increase. Hope deferred maketh the
heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is
a tree of life. Whoso despiseth the word
shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the
commandment shall be rewarded.

Amp—Wealth [not earned] but won in
haste, or unjustly, or from the production
of things for vain or detrimental use, [such
riches] will dwindle away; but he who
gathers little by little will increase them.
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but
when the desire is fulfilled, it is a tree of life.
Whoever despises the Word [of God] brings
destruction upon himself, but he who (reverently)
fears and respects the commandment
[of God] shall be rewarded.

Moffatt—Wealth won in haste will dwindle,
but, gathered gradually it will grow. Hope
deferred is sickening, it is new life to have
desire fulfilled. He who despises God’s decree
shall perish: to stand in awe of God’s
command is safety.

NIV—Dishonest money dwindles away,
but he who gathers money little by little
makes it grow. Hope deferred makes
the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a
tree of life. He who scorns instruction will
pay for it, but he who respects a command
is rewarded.

Proverbs 8:17-21
KJV—I love them that love me; and those
that seek me early shall find me. Riches and
honour are with me; yea, durable riches and
righteousness. My fruit is better than gold,
yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than
choice silver. I lead in the way of righteousness,
in the midst of the paths of judgment:
That I may cause those that love me to inherit
substance; and I will fill their treasures.

gold, yes, than refined gold, and my increase
than choice silver. [Wisdom] walk in the way

cause those who love me to inherit [true]
riches, and that I may fill their treasuries.

those who seek me find me. I hold wealth
and honour, position and good fortune; what
I yield is better than the best of gold, what I
bring in is better than rare silver. I deal right
fairly, justly do I act, enriching those who
love me, and filling their stores full.

NIV—I love those who love me, and those
who seek me find me. With me are riches
and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity.
My fruit is better than fine gold; what I yield
surpasses choice silver. I walk in the way of
righteousness, along the paths of justice,
bestowing wealth on those who love me
and making their treasuries full.

them…and be happy in his work—this is a
gift of God.

seasons; he provides you with plenty of
food and fills your hearts with joy.
