Proverbs 11:24
There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.
KJV
Alii dividunt propria, et ditiores fiunt ; alii rapiunt non sua, et semper in egestate sunt.
Vulgate
εἰσὶν οἳ τὰ ἴδια σπείροντες πλείονα ποιοῦσιν· εἰσὶν καὶ οἳ συνάγοντες ἐλαττονοῦνται.
LXX
There is that scattereth, and increaseth yet more; And there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth only to want.
