Proverbs 11

Honest business ("accurate weight is His delight"), humility, keeping confidences, many counselors, and generosity. Verse 17 speaks directly to right love of self: kindness benefits your own soul, while cruelty wounds your own flesh. Verses 24-25 describe the strange economy of generosity: give freely and gain more, refresh others and be refreshed.

"A kind man benefits himself, but a cruel man brings trouble on himself." (Proverbs 11:17)

"A generous soul will prosper, and he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed." (Proverbs 11:25)

Versions/Hebrew: 11:17 is literally gomel nafsho ish chesed [1580, 5315, 2617], "a man of chesed deals bountifully with his own soul." KJV: "The merciful man doeth good to his own soul." It's the same verb gamal as Psalm 116:7. Love of neighbor and right care for yourself aren't rivals.
