Prov 11:24      Prov 11:26

Proverbs 11:25

Those who bless (a generous soul; a generous person)
become successful (richly satisfied; also: anointed, see Ps. 23:5),
and those who refresh others (quench others' thirst; generously water others),
yes, he himself will be showered (watered; richly blessed with rain) [from above].
[The word "refreshed" (Hebr. ravah) refers to fulfilling the needs of others and quenching the thirst of others. "Showered" is the less common word jara in the original text, which can only be found here and in the book of Hosea, where it describes both physical autumn and spring rains that water the earth, see Hos 6:3, but is also used figuratively for God's righteousness that "rains" on Israel, see Hos. 10:12. Here in Proverbs, a difference in both proportion and direction is implied. God wants to compensate those who generously share a little water from their own well with others with abundant blessings from above, especially through the much-needed rainfall. The two subjects are translated as "it," even though "soul" in Hebrew is feminine and the original text says "he who refreshes." The verse contains spiritual principles that apply to all people.]
