Selah · Bible verse
Proverbs 11:24
There is one who scatters, and increases yet more. There is one who withholds more than is appropriate, but gains poverty.
In context
22Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout, is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion.
23The desire of the righteous is only good. The expectation of the wicked is wrath.
24There is one who scatters, and increases yet more. There is one who withholds more than is appropriate, but gains poverty.
25The liberal soul shall be made fat. He who waters shall be watered also himself.
26People curse someone who withholds grain, but blessing will be on the head of him who sells it.
