22. A beautiful and senseless woman is like a gold ring in the snout of a swine.
23. The desire of the just is entirely good. The anticipation of the impious is fury.
24. Some distribute their own goods, and they become wealthier. Others seize what is not their own, and they are always in need.
25. The soul that blesses shall be made fat. And whoever inebriates will likewise be inebriated himself.
26. Whoever hides away grain shall be cursed among the people. But a blessing is upon the head of those who sell it.
27. He does well to rise early, who seeks what is good. But whoever is a seeker of evils shall be oppressed by them.
28. Whoever trusts in his riches will fall. But the just shall spring up like a green leaf.
29. Whoever troubles his own house will possess the winds. And whoever is foolish will serve the wise.
30. The fruit of the just one is the tree of life. And whoever receives souls is wise.
31. If the just are repaid upon the earth, how much more the impious and the sinner!
