APAD:Much will have more.
This proverb means that people who already have wealth or power are often able to accumulate even more, while those who lack these resources may struggle to attain them. It suggests that inequality and privilege can be self-perpetuating, and that it can be difficult for those on the bottom rungs of society to move up.
The Bible verse with similar wording of this proverb I found difficult. "For to the one who has, more will be given, and he will have an abundance, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away." Matt 13:12; and it's repeated almost verbatim in Matt 25:29
Difficult because a lot of other places Jesus says we need to be concerned about the poor (and even the Old Testament prophets are very concerned about justice for the poor). Difficult because these verses seem to get used to support a certain political standpoint and it seems like an abuse of them.
But after reading the following Bible verse with explaination:
“For to everyone who has [and values his blessings and gifts from God, and has used them wisely], more will be given, and [he will be richly supplied so that] he will have an abundance; but from the one who does not have [because he has ignored or disregarded his blessings and gifts from God], even what he does have will be taken away. [Matt 13:12; Luke 19:26]
It is clear that the verse is not to be taken in the context of an economic message.
