24 There is one who scatters , and yet increases all the more , And there is one who withholds what is justly due , and yet it results only in want .

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 11:24

Commentary on Proverbs 11:24

(Read Proverbs 11:24)

A man may grow poor by not paying just debts, not relieving the poor, not allowing needful expenses. Let men be ever so saving of what they have, if God appoints, it comes to nothing.
