Matthew Henry Commentary Proverbs 11:24

"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)

A person may grow poor by not paying just debts, not relieving the poor, not allowing necessary expenses. Let people be ever so frugal with what they have, if God appoints, it comes to nothing.
