In Proverbs 28:27, the same contrast: giving to the poor brings blessing, closing eyes brings curses—reinforcing the principle of generosity.

Amos 8:4-6 condemns those who hoard grain and cheat the poor—the exact behavior cursed in this proverb.

Genesis 47:25 records the people blessing Joseph for saving their lives—fulfilling the prayer for the one who sells grain.

Genesis 47:23 shows Joseph providing seed during famine—an example of the seller who is blessed for not hoarding.

Job 29:13 describes helping the needy—the opposite of hoarding, aligning with the blessing on the seller.
