26 He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.
26 People curse the one who hoards grain, but they pray God's blessing on the one who is willing to sell.
26 The people curse him who holds back grain, but a blessing is on the head of him who sells it.
26 Curses on those who drive a hard bargain! Blessings on all who play fair and square!
26 The people will curse him who withholds grain, But blessing will be on the head of him who sells it.
26 People curse those who hoard their grain, but they bless the one who sells in time of need.

We must not hoard up the gifts of God's bounty, merely for our own advantage.
