Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 11:24

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

That giveth liberally of his Goods to the Poor: for so this Hebrew word is used, Psal. 112. 9. He hath dispersed, which is explained in the following words▪, he hath given to the Poor.

Through God's secret Blessing upon his Estate.

Heb. from what is right or just, i. e. what by the Law of God, and the Rules of general Justice, he is obliged to give: of which see Prov. 3. 27.

By God's Providence secretly blasting his Estate, either in his own or his Childrens hands, as it very frequently befals covetous Wretches.
