On Deception(24) There is that scattereth--i.e., with bounteous hand (comp. Psalm 112:9), "and yet increaseth" in wealth and blessings (comp. Proverbs 19:17, and the old epitaph, "What we spent, we had; what we saved, we lost; what we gave, we have.")Verse 24. - There is that scattereth; that giveth liberally, as Psalm 112:99, "He hath dispersed, he hath given to the needy." And yet increaseth; becomes only the richer in wealth and more blessed by God (comp. Proverbs 19:17).
