Commentary on Proverbs 11:26
He that withholds grain, the people shall curse him; but blessing shall be upon the head of him that sells it. Hoarding grain during scarcity for price gouging brings public curse. Selling it (even profitably) brings blessing. This verse addresses economic ethics - profiteering from others' need is cursed; providing needed goods is blessed. Free markets should serve human welfare, not merely maximize profit.
