24. There is that scattereth, and increaseth yet more; And there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth only to want.
25. The liberal soul shall be made fat; And he that watereth shall be watered also himself.
26. He that withholdeth grain, the people shall curse him; But blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.
27. He that diligently seeketh good seeketh favor; But he that searcheth after evil, it shall come unto him.
28. He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; But the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf.
29. He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind; And the foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart.
30. The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; And he that is wise winneth souls.
31. Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: How much more the wicked and the sinner!
