Proverbs 11:24
King James Version
11 Jun 2026
“There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.”
פָּזַר
To scatter, to spread abroad. Zarah. One who scatters freely yet gains more. God's economy is opposite to the world's. Generosity produces increase not decrease.
