Proverbs 22:9

Adam Clarke
Bible Commentary

A bountiful eye - One that disposes him to help all that he sees to be in want; the bountiful eye means the bountiful heart; for the heart looks through the eye. The merciful heart, even when the hand has little or nothing to give, shall be blessed of the Lord.

Albert Barnes
Notes on the Whole Bible

He that hath a bountiful eye - literally, as in the margin, contrasted with the “evil eye” of Proverbs 28:22.
