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

ગુજરાતીનીતિવચનો ૧૧:૨૪
એવા માણસો છે કે જેઓ વેરી નાખે છે તેમ છતાં વૃદ્ધિ પામે છે; અને કેટલાક વધુ પડતી કરકસર કરે છે તેમ છતાં તેઓ કંગાળ થાય છે.
हिन्दीनीतिवचन ११:२४
ऐसे हैं, जो छितरा देते हैं, फिर भी उनकी बढ़ती ही होती है; और ऐसे भी हैं जो यथार्थ से कम देते हैं, और इससे उनकी घटती ही होती है। (2 कुरि. 9:6)

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.
