New International Version (NIV)

24One person gives freely, yet gains even more;

another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.

24There is one who scatters, and yet increases all the more,

And there is one who withholds what is justly due, and yet it results only in poverty.

24There is one who scatters, and yet increases all the more,

And there is one who withholds what is justly due, and yet it results only in want.

24There is the one who [generously] scatters [abroad], and yet increases all the more;

And there is the one who withholds what is justly due, but it results only in want and poverty.

24One gives freely, yet gains even more;

another withholds what is right, only to become poor.

24One person gives freely but gets even richer.

Another person doesn’t give what they should but gets even poorer.
