You forgot Proverbs 11:25: The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. (KJV) Isaiah 32:8: But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand. (KJV) It is always a dangerous thing to take the language of the King James Version at face value. The meaning of many words has changed over time. For example the phrase "thou shalt not kill" means something closer to "don't commit murder". If the commandment was meant to be a general prohibition against killing as we think of it, then it would have been worded "thou shalt not slay". This is another one of those. In King James' time, they used "liberal" where we would use "noble" or "generous". And their use of "noble" was restricted to the nobility.
