Exegesis
The Piel participle mefazzer {מְפַזֵּר | məpazzēr} functions as a substantive ‘scatterer’, followed by the Nifal participle venosaf {וְנוֹסָף | wə-nō-sāp} ‘and increases’, which conveys the unexpected outcome of generosity, intensified by the adverb od {עוֹד | ʿōḏ} ‘more’.
In context — Proverbs 11:24
There is one who scatters, yet he increases even more, and one who withholds from uprightness, but it leads only to poverty.
