King James Bible - Proverbs 11:24

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

World English Bible

There is one who scatters, and increases yet more. There is one who withholds more than is appropriate, but gains poverty.

Douay-Rheims - Proverbs 11:24

Some distribute their own goods, and grow richer: others take away what is not their own, and are always in want.

Webster's Bible Translation

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

Original Hebrew

SEV Biblia, Chapter 11:24

¶ Hay quienes reparten, y les es añadido más; y hay quienes retienen más de lo que es justo, mas vienen a pobreza.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 11:24

Verse 24. There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth ] The bountiful man, who gives to the
poor, never turning away his face from any one in distress, the Lord blesses his property and the bread is multiplied in his hand. To the same purpose the following verse.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 24. There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth , etc.] That scattereth “his own”, as the Septuagint, Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Arabic versions add: that disperses his money here and there, among many
poor objects, plentifully and liberally; and his substance is so far from being lessened by such a conduct, that, by the blessing of God, it is increased more and more; or “become richer”, as the Vulgate Latin; (see <19B209> Psalm 112:9). So he that disperses and dispenses the word of God, and spreads the truths of the Gospel, and freely and fully preaches them, increases himself in spiritual knowledge and understanding; and [there is] that withholdeth more than is meet ; or, “right” or “just” f314 , by the, laws of God and men; from himself, from his family, from his friends and relations, and from the poor of the church and of the world; and from the cause and interest of Christ, and what is necessary to support that, according to his ability; but [it tendeth] to poverty , or “want” f315 : such a man is often brought to beggary; there is a moth and rottenness sent into his substance, which secretly consume it: so he that withholds any truth or doctrine, that keeps back anything that may be profitable to the saints; this tends to the impoverishing: of his soul, and the souls of them that attend on his ministry.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 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 the have, if God appoints, it comes to nothing.
