'Gains' in the Bible

There is one who scatters, and increases yet more. There is one who withholds more than is appropriate, but gains poverty.

A wicked messenger falls into trouble, but a trustworthy envoy gains healing.

When the mocker is punished, the simple gains wisdom. When the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.

A man's pride brings him low, but one of lowly spirit gains honor.

Moreover I will give all the riches of this city, and all its gains, and all the precious things of it, yes, all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies; and they shall make them a prey, and take them, and carry them to Babylon.

For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?

For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?
