King James Version
"There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty."
— Proverbs 11:24, King James Version
“There is that scattereth, and increaseth yet more; And there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth only to want. ”
“There is one who scatters, and increases yet more. There is one who withholds more than is appropriate, but gains poverty.”
“One person is generous and yet grows more wealthy, but another withholds more than he should and comes to poverty.”
“Some distribute their own goods, and grow richer: others take away what is not their own, and are always in want.”
“A man may give freely, and still his wealth will be increased; and another may keep back more than is right, but only comes to be in need.”
“There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.”
Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.
As a jewel of gold in a swine’s snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.
The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.
There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.
The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.
He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.
He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.
