Proverbs 11:25

A church father on this verse
“The soul that blesses will be enriched, etc. He who outwardly blesses by preaching receives inwardly the fatness of increase. And while he ceases not to drench the minds of his hearers with sacred discourse, he himself grows fat with the multiple drink of grace.”
Bede, 8th c. — Commentary on Proverbs

24There are some who scatter their own, and make it more: And there are some also who gather, yet have less.
