another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.

One person gives freely, yet gains even more;

another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.

yet gains more;

another withholds what is right,

only to become poor.

but he who withholds what is right only finds need.

And there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.
