Jest niektóry, co hojnie rzeczami swemi szafuje, a wżdy mu przybywa; a drugi jest, który skąpi więcej niż przystoi, a wżdy ubożeje.
Nie jeden udziela szczodrze, a wżdy mu przybywa; a drugi skąpi więcej niż trzeba, a wżdy ubożeje.
Niejeden szczodrze rozdaje, a wciąż więcej zyskuje; inny skąpi i w najniezbędniejszym, a ubożeje.
Nie jeden udziela szczodrze, a wżdy mu przybywa; a drugi skąpi więcej niż trzeba, a wżdy ubożeje.
Jeden hojnie rozdaje, a jednak mu przybywa, drugi nad miarę skąpi, a ubożeje.
Jeden daje hojnie, lecz jeszcze więcej zyskuje; inny nadmiernie skąpi i staje się tylko uboższy.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth,.... That scattereth "his own", as the Septuagint, Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Arabic versions add: that disperses his money here and there, among many poor objects, plentifully and liberally; and his substance is so far from being lessened by such a conduct, that, by the blessing of God, it is increased more and more; or "become richer", as the Vulgate Latin; see Psalms 112:9. So he that disperses and dispenses the word of God, and spreads the truths of the Gospel, and freely and fully preaches them, increases himself in spiritual knowledge and understanding;
and [there is] that withholdeth more than is meet; or, "right" or "just" a, by the, laws of God and men; from himself, from his family, from his friends and relations, and from the poor of the church and of the world; and from the cause and interest of Christ, and what is necessary to support that, according to his ability;
but [it tendeth] to poverty, or "want" b: such a man is often brought to beggary; there is a moth and rottenness sent into his substance, which secretly consume it: so he that withholds any truth or doctrine, that keeps back anything that may be profitable to the saints; this tends to the impoverishing: of his soul, and the souls of them that attend on his ministry.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Withholdeth more than is meet - i. e., Is sparing and niggardly where he ought to give. The contrast is stated in the form of a paradox, to which the two following verses supply the answer. Some render, âThere is that withholdeth from what is due,â i. e., from a just debt, or from the generosity of a just man.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Proverbs 11:24. There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth — The bountiful man, who gives to the poor, never turning away his face from any one in distress, the Lord blesses his property, and the bread is multiplied in his hand. To the same purpose the following verse.
