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!
