Proverbs 11:24

New Catholic Bible

²⁴One man gives lavishly and increases his wealth,
while another is tight-fisted and ends up impoverished.^[a]

Proverbs 11:24 Generosity brings greater blessings and prosperity (see Prov 3:9-10; Ps 112:9; Eccl 11:1-2; 2 Cor 6:9), while the one who is tight-fisted makes no friends and harms himself (see Prov 21:13).

Proverbs 11:24

King James Version

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

²⁴^(A)One gives ^(B)freely, yet grows all the richer;
another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.
