The Proverb Challenge: Day 11

The Proverb Challenge

Day 11

He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.

- Proverbs 11:26 KJV

I live in a country where sellers intentionally create scarcity to enrich themselves. When a commodity is in short supply and demand is high, price tends to be high. Today's verse admonish us to be honest in our business dealing. Don't hoard products at the expense of the masses.

Even when it is the norm in th industry you are operating, don't join to withhold corn from the people. Corn is food. It is what people will eat to survive. Do business in a right manner.

Bad and wicked business tactics that is at the expenses of the people is dangerous and such business is cursed.

Sell your products at a reasonable and affordable price. Don't be in a hurry to make money that you are ready to sell bogus products at an outrageous price.

Beauty is abused by those who have not discretion or modesty with it. This is true of all bodily endowments.

While curses follow those that hoard their products in the hope of selling it at a higher price and making outrageous amount from it, blessing shall be upon those that sell it; at a moderate price, so that the poor may be able to come at it; such will have their blessing; they will wish all happiness to them and their families, here and hereafter.

This particular verse goes to everyone. Don't hoard products in order to create scarcity and make money at he essence of the people.

Main Point: You are cursed when you hoard products at th expense of the masses.
