He that withholds grain, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that sells it.
All Commentaries on Proverbs 11:26 Go To Proverbs 11
Shenoute the Archimandrite
AD 466
It is written, “Men speak evil of him who withholds wheat.” One who withholds is without mercy. He does not gather for the sake of mercy. For, unless he gathers, with what can he bestow mercy? Is it not also true that men bless the person who expends and gives, as it is written here and there in the pages of sacred Scripture? On Language.
