Proverbs 11:24 | |
NASB: 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. (NASB ©1995) GWT: One person spends freely and yet grows richer, while another holds back what he owes and yet grows poorer. (GOD'S WORD®) KJV: There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty. ASV: There is that scattereth, and increaseth yet more; And there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth only to want. BBE: A man may give freely, and still his wealth will be increased; and another may keep back more than is right, but only comes to be in need. DBY: There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is right, but it tendeth only to want. JPS: There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth only to want. WBS: There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty. WEB: There is one who scatters, and increases yet more. There is one who withholds more than is appropriate, but gains poverty. YLT: There is who is scattering, and yet is increased, And who is keeping back from uprightness, only to want. | |
