SCRIPTURE

"There is that scattereth, and increaseth yet more; And there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but [it tendeth] only to want." — Proverbs 11:24 (ASV)

There is that scattereth— that is, with bounteous hand , and yet increaseth in wealth and blessings (compare Proverbs 19:17, and the old epitaph, “What we spent, we had; what we saved, we lost; what we gave, we have.”)
