That scattereth; that giveth liberally of his goods to the poor; for so this Hebrew word is used, Psalms 112:9, He hath dispersed, which is explained in the following words, he hath given to the poor. Increaseth, through God's secret blessing upon his estate. More than is meet, Heb. from what is right or just, i.e. what by the law of God, and the rules of general justice, he is obliged to give; of which see Proverbs 3:27. It tendeth to poverty; by God's providence secretly blasting his estate, either in his own or his children's hands, as it very frequently befalls covetous wretches.
