Proverbs 11:24

יֵ֣שׁ מְ֭פַזֵּר וְנוֹסָ֣ף ע֑וֹד וְחוֹשֵׂ֥ךְ מִ֝יֹּ֗שֶׁר אַך לְמַחְסֽוֹר׃
yesh mpazer vnvosaf ʿvod vḥvoshek miyosher ʾak lmaḥsvor
King James Version (KJV)

There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.

Modern English

One gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.
