You may need to make explicit that the person scatters seeds for crops to grow. This is a metaphor for being generous. Alternate translation: "one who scatters much seed" or "one who is generous" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

"what he should give" or "wrongly refuses to give." Being unjust is possibly a hyperbole for simply not being generous. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-hyperbole]])
