Proverbs 11:24 - The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann

Bible Comments

v. 24. There is that scattereth, practicing cheerful liberality with the goods given him in life, and yet increaseth, since the blessing of the Lord more than compensates for the money spent in benevolences; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, not even giving his share for the alleviation of bodily and spiritual suffering, but it tendeth to poverty, in spite of his careful hoarding his possessions decrease, so that he saves only to poverty.

24 There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.
